The term racism is said to have originated with communist Leon Trotsky in 1933, but it was only popularized rather recently by Trotsky's bedfellows in the US media.
Here's a Webster's dictionary purportedly from 1955 showing the term "racism" didn't even exist:
The New York Times' Chronicle, which mapped out what percentage of Times articles included specific words over the years, showed they didn't start pushing the term until around the mid 1960's:
"Racism" is an interesting word in that it has no set definition. What was considered perfectly normal a few years ago is now considered "racist."
Interesting, no?
