This applies to most any situation. The group in power (no matter their skin color) gain more than the "others" (of some other skin color) who are not in power.

That gain flows, largely, straight from simply being "in power".

But for someone wanting to find "racism" around every corner, and attempts to define anything they don't like or agree with as "racist" it is trivially easy to construct arguments for why those "in power" are racists using only that differential in "gain" that flows not from racism, but from simply being the ones "in power". And this is where the current power lies in the new woke's miss-use of racism in the manner they have been using it. They have, likely by accident, stumbled into a way to, for the most part, simply shutdown debate about any of their wants by simply labeling anything and everything that is not sucking up to their pre-ordained beliefs as racist.

It won't take long (but it will take too long as well) before their cries of "racism" will have gone the same way as "the boy who cried wolf" from the children's fable. They are so over-using the racism "shutdown debate" card that everyone who had been listening will have become numb, and it will lose all of its power when that happens. And the sad part is they will have set-back any real work to deal with any leftover racism from years ago for a significant time period in the process. Doing immense damage in the process to the goals they want to gain.
