This is the definition from Merriam Webster:
the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another;
a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race; a political or social system founded on racism and designed to execute its principles

The Merriam Webster definition of the word racism has been changed to fit the social justice narrative.

The left has literally changed the meaning of a vital word in our national social debate to better serve it's agenda. If that is your agenda, this devolution in to Newspeak will seem doubleplusgood to you, I'm sure, but in a language where definitions are fluid in the short term, words mean nothing.
We know what racism used to mean, but we may not know what it means in the moment because that can now change on a whim.
