What the fuck? I fucking hate word salads. So much harder to digest.
The first part of 2020 definition is true but I guess truth is now "racism".
And the second part is just ideological. Of course they list white supremacy, but what about black supremacy, or literally any other supremacist ideology. Nah, they gotta hate on whitey.
The first definition IS ABSOLUTELY NOT true. I cannot stress that enough.
From its first use, "racism" meant the practice of discriminating based on race. If you thought some races were better than others, that was not racism. It was just your opinion.
The "evil of racism" is when employers wouldn't hire you despite your qualifications only because you were black, or you weren't allowed to enter a certain establishment because you were oriental, or you couldn't marry someone because if differing race.
Racism is about practice. It is not about personal opinion.
I have an 1892 Webster’s dictionary and a set of 1924 Compton’s Encyclopedias. Couldn’t find racism in those either. And the only definition I could find for “gay” means cheerful or frolicsome.

I have a 100 year old dictionary. The word racism didn’t exist
