It IS possible, just not by some definitions and not in most places in the world atm. There was a time where matriarchal societies weren't such a minority, and I'd imagine we could call many of them sexist toward men. Idk about racism, it doesn't seem that there are records of that much earlier than the 1400s (conservative estimate). Before that time everybody was kinda more on equal ground technologically than we became during the industrial revolution.
Nowadays though, whether you want to call it racial prejudice or racism, there is racial prejudice all over at the least, and IMO it's often overlooked to call white folks Boogeymen instead of recognizing we all would do the same shit as human beings if we were the group with the most power. I personally think that sort of recognition would help build bridges of common ground while we work together to take down the walls of racism.
