> Opening statement is doing a disservice. Most parts of the world racism is defined But this was written by a journalist. You have to translate Journalistese into English as you read it. For example "in most parts of the world" means "here where I live". In a similar way, "everybody" means "a cousin of mine", and so on. Once you get used to their language, newspapers start to make more sense. A bit less interesting, but definitely more informative.
