“This revision would not have been made without your persistence in contacting us about this problem. We sincerely thank you for repeatedly writing in and apologise for the harm and offence we have caused in failing to address this issue sooner,” the email said.
The lesson of the last 60 years. Yell and scream enough and you will get what you want eventually.
Which is hilarious since the only provable systemic racism is against whites and asians due to legally mandated quotas and hiring preferences, combined with preference for woman and minority owned businesses.
The political purpose of Newspeak is to eliminate the expression of the shades of meaning inherent to ambiguity and nuance from Oldspeak (Standard English) in order to reduce the language's function of communication, by way of simplistic concepts of simple construction—pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness, goodthink and crimethink—the last one of these which linguistically reinforces the State's totalitarian dominance of the people of Oceania. In Newspeak, English root words function as both nouns and verbs, which reduce the vocabulary available for the speaker to communicate meaning. For example, think is both a noun and a verb, thus, the word thought is not functionally required to communicate the concepts of thought in Newspeak and therefore is not in the Newspeak vocabulary.
Sure is a lot of hysteria over all these racist systems that we keep hearing about. Funny how there is never any specific system mentioned, just vague hand-waving generalisations and needlessly verbose rhetoric that turns into violence when you dare question it further. Its as if there isn't any actual racism.. just 'racism' itself being used as a magic word to enable crimes at the mere accusation.
If you have to go full thug/threat mode against dictionary companies and their staff, then that doesn't really make up for the lies, now does it?
I like that the moron demanded that they add something about systematic oppression, and the dictionary people replied talking about systemic oppression, because everyone knows now that all of our systematic oppression is from cancerous leftist policies. I'm sure the moron didn't even notice.
This could play in the white races favor however. Because if it becomes legally defined as "systematic oppression" then we can take to the courts all of these leftist policies.
“I know what racism is, I’ve experienced it, so I emailed them,” she said.
So the dictionary disagreed with you and your interpretation was "Obviously I'm right and the dictionary is wrong."
And then the people who run the dictionary agreed with you...
Black privilege is Shakespeare-tier.
“I basically told them that they need to include that there’s a systematic oppression upon a group of people. It’s not just, ‘Oh, I don’t like someone.”
This is a "law graduate". We listen to idiot children and install them as authorities.

Spare the rod, spoil the civilization.
FTFY
They're redefining it so they can claim that white people can't experience racism. It makes the genocide go down easier.

Since the left controls education, the only thing they seem capable of doing is rewriting definitions
Under "systematic oppression" they need to put the example "affirmative action".

Have these activists even identified one corporation that won't change anything if they're told it's racist?

I wish we would either pick "systematic" or "systemic."
And now it begins. Using this definition, the left will finally begin the genocide of white people in earnest. Arm up.
In that case, can we yell and scream until they change the definition of "Antifa", since their current definition isn't even accurate?
Start collecting old dictionaries before they are destroyed.
