The definition of racism is a hotly debated topic actually, it can mean many different things. "Merriam-Webster has a new definition of “racism”" https://www.vox.com/identities/2020/6/10/21286656/merriam-webster-racism-definition https://www.vox.com/identities/2020/6/10/21286656/merriam-we... There are people who believe it's impossible to be racist against white people, others believe it's simply discriminating based on race. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/us/anti-defamation-league-racism-definition/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/us/anti-defamation-league-rac... >Since 2020, the ADL had described racism as “the marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges White people.” It's a powerful word that can be used to shut people down, so it is liberally used to do so, and its definition is changing to suit the policies and objectives of politicians and organizations. One example: during the pandemic it was considered "racist" to suggest that the virus might have come from a lab, if you don't believe me I can find you a million reddit threads, Twitter threads, and articles saying as much. NOW it is openly talked about by government institutions and those same institutions that were writing articles decrying it as racist. I fail to see how talking about the definitions of words and their power makes me a fascist. If anything you are the fascist for misusing the power of certain words to stifle discussion and the free exchange of ideas.
