Under this definition, people of colour cannot be racist. Racism requires power and privilege. People of colour do not, in general, have racial power or privilege.
Don't systems of power exist on every level and in every size though? If we are dealing with a country where non-white is the norm and the majority (Asian countries like Japan and China and India, South American countries like Brazil or Peru, African countries from Liberia to South Africa) then non-whites are the ones in government level power of their own domain. And they are capable in theory of strategically oppressing people of other shades within their domain (I'd like to think most of them don't because they know what it feels like or maybe they are just smarter/better).
It might never be as large scale because at the moment Western society/culture/milatary power still dominates the rest of the world (though I would argue that there are some "up and coming"s) but but it might be capable of feeling plenty of systematic to the people trapped within that system.
