I find anyone that claims to actually KNOW the definition of any word to be just a little sanctimonious.

To be perfectly honest, I don't know Jack. I don't want to get into a philosophical discussion on the meaning of life, we can interpret every which way and never come close to 1% of the true meaning.
Racism is not a state of mind, it is word created to define what one race does to another. Dictionaries
are where the majority acceptance of these words reside, if you don't like it, call a publisher and get to work. The dictionary is not the end-all argument to a debate such as this, but I think if people use their common sense and stop trying to make this more complicated than it has already become, then you'll see this is fair and balanced meaning that MOST people (with common sense) can accept.
