Doyle; That's good enough definition for me. However, I think one could expand the definition by looking at the mechanics of racism. Racism entails; language, emotion, vision. Racism is a also a kind of knowledge work. For a society to really address racism to the roots would take a systemic effort to overhaul language, emotion, vision to succeed. I'm optimistic that we could do that as well. I was reading the document you quoted and recommended to read. I saw Elizabeth Martinez quoted in there. I know she co-teaches with Angela Davis in Santa Cruz at times. I've looked at their syllabi which is a handy list of what to know about racism as people currently understand that. A good resource in other words. thanks, Doyle Saylor ABB writes;

I am genuinely curious -- in your view, who does get to redefine racism? You never answered the question asked in the title of your argument.
