There are two main definitions of racism that have been debated over the last few decades. But there are thousands of social scientists and researchers who agree with the definition that includes power definitions, as well as distinguishes between prejudice, discrimination, and racism.
The dictionary provides things in a simplistic format for the layperson who won't understand these social constructs if presented in detail. This is why there are social science dictionaries, encyclopedias and other sources for people who want to really dig deep to understand and challenge conventional notions.
