I didn’t find their definitions objectionable, regardless of what was asked for.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racist

Apart from the vernacular definitions, they include

“2a: a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles
b: a political or social system founded on racism.”

Fine. Nothing to get up at arms about. I was concerned that I’d see a racist definition of “racism”, but I don’t see that here.

By that definition “affirmative action” is racist.

It is anti-white and anti-Asian.

The new definition includes a few options, including “or discrimination.”

Discrimination itself, can simply mean distinguishing actual differences between things.

That can now fall into the highest category of thought crime - racism. Subject to immediate dismissal without trial or appeal, loss of freedom of speech or thought, and being expunged from public life.

Anyone who points out facts contrary to the Leftist narrative, would be discriminating true from false, and therefor - a racist (if it suits the Leftist narrative/Party Line).

That is how the Left uses the word (to cut off debate, and nullify contrary facts), but now Webster’s Dictionary i on board with it.

You are right, I think I like this added definition. Since BLM and the lefties ARE “a political program based on the ASSUMPTION of racism”, BLM and the lefties are, in fact, racism personified. By assuming white priviledge and racism in all whites, they now prove themselves to be racist.
