Your definition of "racism" vs "institutional racism" is only one of them, so no dice for claiming it's the "correct" or "academic" one.

Oh oh! We can all have our on personal definitions of racism now? Fuck the dictionary and layman's terms!

I say racism is giving the evil eye to anyone while wearing an unflattering hat!

Because the dictionary wasn't compiled by white people, or people with privilege, who get to decide how words are defined. Nope. Not at all. It is organic, sprung from the salt of the earth, and given the blessings of heaven as it is sent to the vastly ethnic, racial, and class-diverse publishing houses and academic institutions that put out the tomes. I'm sure Oxford University Press is full of people who have no white privilege. Just chock full.

Dictionaries are items of privilege and power. The power to define a word correctly is an important one -- and is tied to issues of class, race, gender, and ethnicity.

FIGHT THE DICTIONARIES, TOOLS OF OPPRESSION

WE DON'T NEED NO EDUCATION!!

Stop speaking English, it's a white language.

Don't use penicillin, that's a white thing too!

Actually better give up anything associated with Western civilization. Oh wait, you don't want to give up all those kushy Western-inventions that make your life a little easier.

Nice cherry-picking there.

So then who gets to define a word "correctly," pray tell? And what makes that definition more "correct" than any other one?
