Why shouldn't they be? If these phenomena exist, they need to be described fairly. That doesn't mean agreeing with them. A racist article and an article about racism are two different things.
This is easy : racism means there is a difference between race. If in the article we show there is no such things as human races, how can you use a term such anti-caucasian racism without implying first there are different races, and as a consequence that regarding the race that are concerned the racism is different !!!
Very simple, independent of whether there exists races or not, and independent of whether IF there exist races 'Caucasian' is one of them, it is surely the case that 'Caucasians' is a certain _group_ of people. And anti-Caucasian racism is a kind of racism that is directed to that group of people.
If racism are different regarding the «race» you can compare them and say : oh anti-negro racism is worse than anti-caucasian racism or else.
Well, you can, but you cannot do so on Wikipedia, since 'worse' is not NPOV.
