Article from CNN talking about their definition of racism.
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...
The ADL's definition:
"The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people."
Also they have defined saying "it's okay to be white" as hateful language.

There are a few other such examples, such as statements from ADL leadership.
The controversy is that people are calling this antisemitism
- Rebelgecko 3y agoThe article seems to say that the ADL stopped using that definition years ago. Why did he wait until this week to tweet about it? Especially by replying to a vague tweet about "Jewish communities"? Seems more like damage control to me
- soundnote 3y agoBecause it's an exhibit of their attitude. The ADL's attitude has not changed, even if they let go of one piece of stupidity.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoThat doesn't make sense to me. If that's the case, why is he talking about "Jewish communities" instead of naming organizations or groups he has a problem with?
- soundnote 3y agoThe funniest/saddest part is that "it's okay to be white" and the ok hand sign are literally just 4chan trolling trying to demonstrate how unhinged their political opposition is, and the hook gets swallowed every time.
