Racism isn't a quality one has. It's a result of actions and systems. If we woke up tomorrow and race no longer existed, the world would still be the result of racist systems and white supremacy.
I'm not sure what your thought experiment is intended to do other than make you feel better about the fact that racism exists. You can't think your way out of racist systems any more than you can think your way out of any other result of the world existing as it has and does.

@intransitivelie "Racism isn't a quality one has." But you also write: "You can't stop being white. You can stop hurting others..." Is this consistent? However, I essentially /agree/ with you about structural racism or the globalized repressive white hegemony. "... you feel better about the fact that racism exists." My reply is a challenge for one to think of influences which concretize racism within the mind. "Fight the racist in your head.. the System" - A metaphysical argument as mine.
