Protesting agains perceived injustice from local restaurant in Boonsboro, Maryland.

Ok, I was trying to be polite but you insist on pushing so I'm going to be very clear. You are trying to change the definition of racism. Because the "rac" in racism is referring to race. If you can't grasp that very simple concept then I have no interest in any further discussion with you. You can change all the words in the dictionary if you want, you aren't actually accomplishing anything regardless of how good it makes you feel. The reason there's still racism is because there are racist people. Without racist people there would be no racism. A system can't be racist because a system only performs the way the people running it want it to. So you can chant "the system is racist" into the aether all you want but the system doesn't give a shit because the system is an idea, not a thing with it's own will. You want to stop racism, you stop the racist people. I'm done with charade.

Also, here's the accepted definition of racism. It already encompasses the "new definition" fairly well, so like I said, the only reason for it to exist is to exclude some people from being able to be considered racist. If you want to change definitions or try to pedal bullshit to make yourself feel superior do it somewhere else. I have no interest in participating in this charade any longer.

Racism:

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
