Racism exists everywhere, not just in westernised society. It's prevalent in the city I live in (Hong Kong) and much of Asia too. And this video does not serve to answer the question of how to tackle it. She deflects with more questions to detract from the fact that she doesn't have an answer. Is it a housing issue, do the problems start early in education? By identifying some of the sources, you can work to address them.
The problem with this analysis is that yes: in-group preference is probably in-built to human nature, and applies to many different ethnicities, not just Western Europeans. There is certainly privilege enjoyed by wealthier ethnically Western Europeans living in North America, Europe or even Australia. However, the use of the term "white" is far too broad brush. It could refer to Eastern Europeans or even Central Asians: it is hard to argue for instance that impoverished eastern Ukrainians or Albanians enjoy any privilege at all compared, for instance, to non-whites living in affluent parts of the US

Is this exclusive to the US?
Use your privilege to help those without.
They just use their power to overcrowd a beach in Bournemouth...
