Yes, I know the dictionary definitions. Dictionaries always are improving on past definitions. Eventually they will come to see that my definition of racism is the most accurate.

The guys that put the dictionaries together don't have enough time to dwell on any single word. Most of their definitions aren't very accurate. But it's what we all use when we don't yet know a word. It's better than having nothing to refer to.

The fact is that racism is poorly understood by the vast majority of people.

We get more of what we participate in. If one wants less racism, then one should stop participating in it.

If one wants more wealth in the world, then participate in wealth building. If one wants more work to be available in the world, then participate in working. If one doesn't want those things, then don't participate in them.

Discrimination is a word that has been perverted by the politically correct. The fact is that discrimination really has nothing to do with racism. It has taken that connotation over the years because the politically correct have misused the word. Discrimination really just means to discern one thing from another. Nothing more.
