So racism only works unilaterally: from the 'powerful' to the 'weak'? You cannot be racist towards someone who is of a culture more 'powerful' than you? Cultural appropriation only works one way: by the 'larger' culture of the 'smaller'? The definition I gave of racism is the one commonly used by anti-discrimination organisations. Just because it is the general consensus may not make it correct for you, but it works in national and international law. You don't think it is encompassing enough?
PoC can discriminate against other people and have prejudices; this is not racism because PoC are not the ones in power.
My college classes that discuss racism have all said racism=prejudice+power; I already believed this definition before going to college.
The definition you gave would fall under individual racism. If you “work” for an anti-racism organization why haven’t you research these things? Your definition is not the only universal definition of racism. There is more to racism then hatred.
