Thats the magic trick, it doesnt.
It is an article of faith in the religion of modernity, and questioning it gets you targeted as a heretic.
That’s true. It’s just frustrating how they twist words that have had a clear meaning for centuries and everyone just has to go along with it
Racism does have a definition. Same as "woman". The trick is in making people accept that it doesn't.
You can try to apply one, but the term has never been used consistently. Definitions are a reaction to usage, not the other way around. "Woman" was in fact used consistently for 1000s of years in different languages. "Racism" didn't even exist for most of that time.
How about "Irrational hatred of entire races of people other than one's own"?
Too many people see hatred itself as irrational. It isn't.
Irrational is highly subjective. For example I don't want to live in a black neighborhood because black neighborhoods have a lower quality of life.
Or I don't really look at resumes that have black names or black colleges listed because as a person in a technical field I haven't found a black person who is remotely qualified to do the work I need done.
To me that is perfectly rational. But that fits most modern definitions of "racist".
Sure. Those prejudices are perfectly rational. It's another sign of the times that the word "prejudice" has a negative connotation. There are perfectly logical reasons for all sorts of aversion, from distaste to outright hate.
This condition is directly the result of the left taking control of the language via our educational institutions and publishing industry.
I think we agree that most modern definitions of "racism" are nonsense, especially the "power + prejudice" bullshit.
