Yes that is exactly what they have done, redefined and reshaped word usage and use of the word racism toward anyone that doesn’t agree with them. Many people really think it is racist to want people to come here legally or not welcome Muslims with open arms without checking them out...
Part of the reason they have had success in redefining many words and ideas for the general population is their control of the government schools.
Their curriculum of inculcating hate and envy and of dumbing down the students leads to things like people holding foolish, and often contradictory, beliefs.
Such as seriously believing that it is racist to criticize muslims.
