The Left defines racism as "prejudice plus power", while adamantly denying that non-whites could ever have the power to be racist.

My personal definition of racism, as distinct from prejudice or bigotry, is "the desire to harm or otherwise disadvantage others on the basis of race".

I would also define "hate" as needing an element of "desire to harm", rather than the current usage which regards a simple lack of desire to associate with members of a group as "hate".

I like your definition much better— that much better captures both what the term should mean and how it is used (as a pejorative).
