Holocaust killed Russian and Jews as well, which are white. In fact I would say the Holocaust killed mainly white people.

Racism is not limited to skin color

That wasn't the point. It's not the suffering Olympics.

Yes, the point I'm trying to make is that people's color is only tangent is racism (but of course it helps to highlight differences between different group of people). That's why Roma, even if white, are still discriminated against. Sorry if I misunderstood your point, or not made mine clear

Okay well if you want to get into that, the concept of whiteness is very selective to racists. Roma, Jews, and (until recently) Russians are not considered white. The very fact that they were targeted the way they were tells us that. They may have white skin but that doesn't matter to the concept because they aren't in the club.
