Quite often, yes. People in the USA often think of racism as a White, Non Hispanic vs anyone else.

Dealt personally with it in my family (German/Latvian mom, Native American/Scandinavian dad) where the German and Latvian sides basically did the "This girl you are dating is nice... but she is RUSSIAN. and a Jew"

Egyptian friend was derided by his Arab neighbors growing up.

Different tribes in southern Africa. Same "they are Xhosa, we are Zulu, they suck"

Racism isnt just white European descent vs not that.
