have you not been paying attention to this entire discussion?
I'm not the one who's saying we shouldn't use dictionaries to find out what words mean.

and people of color*Why are we still having this discussion... literally nobody takes this 'new definition' seriously outside of safe spaces in liberal colleges.

On balance, the public thinks that when it comes to discrimination against black people in the U.S. today, discrimination that is based on the prejudice of individual people is a bigger problem than discrimination that is built into the nation’s laws and institutions. This is the case among both blacks and whites
They're not wrong...You say liberal colleges like the majority of the GOP doesn't already think colleges are liberal breeding grounds, outside of those awful religious colleges that won't teach proper science.
You claimed this earlier in the thread and contradicted yourself with the source you provided:
It doesn't necessarily disprove my point about blacks preferring a definition not listed in the dictionary (I mean, you can still think systematic discrimination is less of a problem while also thinking whites don't suffer on an individual level as well). The divide likely is class based.

There are no harmful images of whites
I said images. As in, visual presentation. That color on your skin is still white privilege.
(although Jews wear certain attire... but come on, they're not going to be followed around stores, harassed by police, or have their resumes rejected any time soon).
you're not seriously telling me you've never seen visual representation of Jewish physical stereotypes.
. Many white European ethnic groups are often the beneficiaries of institutional racism in North America and elsewhere. I've said words to that effect constantly throughout the thread.
you can't help but frame the debate through the black/white lens.
My only point to you was that white people (or people with white skin) do not suffer prejudice in the same way people of colour do
Why would you .include people of color? Not all of them agree with the definitions. I know some Bangladeshis who hate Pakistanis and think black people are stupid. According to you, that's not racism because they don't have power. Bigotry still exists even if some people want to rebrand it an attempt to trivialize it.and people of color*
you think the only way for knowledge is through dictionaries? when you want to learn about evolution, do you go to a dictionary? cancer? basketball? seriously?

You entirely missed the point. Please do some preliminary reading on intersectional bigotry.
What do I read? That's why I asked you. I Googled intersectional bigotry. The first link was the Wikipedia page for intersectionality. The word bigotry appears in this passage:This may come off as pretentious, but if you don't know you should look it up. Do the reading, for all of our sakes.
Is that what you wanted me to read, that all types of discrimination are interwoven?Intersectionality holds that the classical conceptualizations of oppression within society—such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and belief-based bigotry—do not act independently of each other. Instead, these forms of oppression interrelate, creating a system of oppression that reflects the "intersection" of multiple forms of discrimination.
Edit: Actually, you know what, I'm done here. It's tiring having people stand metaphorically agape when I so much as mention the situation outside the States. So much suffering over so many centuries just gets boxed up and forgotten or nipped and tucked to fit a contemporary, localised debate where the proponents can't even be bothered to do a simple Google search for something as endemic as visual anti-Semitic tropes.
I would include people of color because a large percentage, even those same Bangledeshis most likely, would at least say white people know nothing about racism still.Why would you .include people of color?

People use dictionaries so we understand what each other is saying. I could say specious is a combination of special and specious or that engender is a new type of gender, but you prove that I'm wrong with a dictionary.
