It's not the actual working definition, anyone can be racist against anyone else.

if you want to ignore decades of discourse around racism and instead hold onto a basic dictionary definition then hun that you prerogative. I don't really care to change your mind or debate you over it. I just wanted to point out that you were actually very wrong about people getting the racism=power+prejudice definition from a meme.

Some younger people might have most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about racism and researching discussions about it. So they might see the meme, and just take it as read.

You mention this a lot. Almost as though to understand racism and... not be racist, you need a 5 year degree or something.

It doesn't take a lot of time to understand.
