Consider the definition of the word racism from Oxford.
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
Does this mean that all three nouns (prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism) are connected to the belief that one's own race is superior? Meaning it can be any of them? Or does it mean that racism can merely be just prejudice or just discrimination with the antagonism part a completely separate definition?

I don't understand the source of your confusion. It's single saying X directed... or Y directed, or Z directed... via the customary conjunction reduction of X, Y, or Z directed... I cannot imagine any other possible reading here. This is merely how compound subjects work when governing a single verb, here a past participle rather than a finite verb, but just a routine reduction nonetheless.
