Racism definition: Merriam-Webster to make update after request

Ms Mitchum says the dictionary definition was being used by people attempting to tell her she was wrong.People were copy-and-pasting the definition to her in an attempt to prove racism could only exist if you believe your race to be superior to another.

On 28 May, Ms Mitchum emailed Merriam-Webster to point out that racism is"both prejudice combined with social and institutional power. It is a system of advantage based on skin colour". Merriam-Webster's editorial manager Peter Sokolowski told the BBC that the wording of the second definition of racism will be"even more clear in our next release".

They changed the definition to weaponise the word and make it a whites'-only slur. This idea that racism was prejudice+power was invented by a white author named Patricia Bidol in the 1970s and made popular by Spike Lee and Justin Simien in their race-baiting films.

Its should say. Pointless word thrown about by left wing activists to delete history and impeed free speech.

you can't change language on a fucking whim because some people are professional victims

Some requests are more equal than others. Remember when Lenny dropped a note to Tony? Or Owen Jones emailed complaining he was not on enough?

Racethink doubleplusungood

Has newspeak written all over it

Imagine an astronaut working in cotton fields,of course there were. The problem is racism cannot coexist with progress. Covid stopped time. This is Amis stuff.

Newspeak

This is dumb

Words redefined, entertainment censored, statues removed, streets renamed, biological sex was invented by white supremacy, Blood guilt and yep that’s about it for today.

A joke, an absolute joke the BBC has lost it!

I'm a racist ☺ We're all racist ☺ So cool 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah they updated it & includes the word racism, top tip morons, you can't define a word by including the word in it's definition, it creates an infinite loop

Feck off with your race baiting...a Police officer in London has just been beaten,strangled and forced to knee in his own blood,while being filmed by everyone passing with no help...you're tweeting about a fecking American dictionary...so pleaseeeeee ...

Will it just have a picture of Abbott, Lammy, Khan, Hirsch, Alibhai-Brown or Sarkar? Or will they pose for a group photo?

You know what , just you keep making up bullshit. We KNOW you're a Left Wing Mouthpiece we know your Agenda. We're on to your style of Propaganda. Just because you say something it doesn't mean it will happen. You have zero credibility now.

It now means anyone who disagrees with a lefthard's demands to kneel before a black person.
