ADL Quietly Changed Its Definition of Racism to Exclude White People

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization that claims to have a non-partisan agenda against hatred and discrimination but is actually a partisan, far-left outfit that regularly smears conservatives, changed its definition of “racism” in 2020 to exclude white people.

The update borrows the language of critical race theory, suggesting that only “people of color” can be victims of racism, and that a system that prioritizes people who aren’t white is not racist.

According to online archives, the change occurred sometime between June and September 2020. The change went relatively unnoticed at the time, but recently drew attention on social media.

On June 1, 2020, the ADL’s definition of racism was one that most Americans would agree with:

Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. Racial separatism is the belief, most of the time based on racism, that different races should remain segregated and apart from one another.

But by September 2020, after a summer of violence and looting brought about by Black Lives Matter and Antifa, the old definition of racism was removed.

AD In its place came a much shorter definition, more in line with the dictates of far-left critical race theory, that defines racism as the oppression of “people of color” by white people.

The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.

The ADL’s previous definition would have defined far-left critical race theory as racist, because it suggests that “a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined” — that white people are, due to their inborn characteristics, privileged and oppressive.

The new definition adopts that very same argument, making the ADL racist by its own previous definition.

It’s SOOOO embarrassing that the ADL purports to be a Jewish organization.

I just wish they would shut up and go away.

“Sleazy Democrat group.”

They really are. You would not believe how aggressive and misleading their fundraising efforts are.

They’re super aggressive against heirs if a family member is dumb enough to mention them in a will. They sue every time to steal as much as they can from heirs and an estate.

Just scum on every level.

“ADL is a shakedown organization.”

More of a slander and misinformation group at this point.

They exist to give credibility to fake claims, hiding behind the dead bodies of 6,000,000 of my people that were killed by their fellow socialists.

The fact that they say only whites are racist is, in itself, racist. Guess they forgot about La Raza, the black supremacist groups and even Asian supremacist and Native American supremacist groups.

The ADL’s main purpose is to convince agnostics with Jewish ancestry that only crazy goyim believe in the divinity of Biblical scripture.

Exactly. Why change it?

Do you think ADL realizes the irony that in excluding white races they are in fact the textbook definition of racist?

Nah. Although I’m sure that’s a byproduct.

It’s just a propaganda outlet.
