I have worked many times in the rural areas that our association covers with a single Black official in our 3 man crew. Never has there been any crowd activity directed at my Black partner like what I have experienced working inner city schools.

Where is it written that racism is only 1 way?

I certainly have seen it go both ways. I tossed a black kid one time for calling a white opponent a very insulting racial epithet. Black coach didn't have a problem with it!
