why cant we agree on what is racism?

[Sailor]

No, you explained racism as a fallacy, you didn't give a dictionary definition of it. Let me help you:

rac·ism

/ˈrāˌsizəm/
Learn to pronounce

noun
noun: racism

• prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
  "a program to combat racism"
  synonyms:
  racial discrimination, racialism, racial prejudice/bigotry, xenophobia, chauvinism, bigotry, bias, intolerance; Moreanti-Semitism;
  historicalapartheid
  • the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
    "theories of racism"
  
  
  
  
  

Might as well just change the definition to Democrat!

False Authority Fallacy.

Dictionaries do not define words. They are not an authoritative source for any word definition. Heck, dictionaries even often times contradict one another. Which dictionary is the 'authoritative' one?

Suburban women recoil as Trump dives into racial politics


BROOKFIELD, Wis. (AP) — Carol Evans approves of Donald Trump’s immigration policy. She gives him credit for the strong economy. But the Republican from the affluent Milwaukee suburbs of Waukesha County, a GOP bedrock in the state, just can’t commit to voting for the president next year like she did in 2016.

The president’s recent return to racial politics may be aimed at rallying his base of white working-class voters across rural America. But the risks of the strategy are glaring in conversations with women like Evans.

Many professional, suburban women — a critical voting bloc in the 2020 election — recoil at the abrasive, divisive rhetoric, exposing the president to a potential wave of opposition in key battlegrounds across the country.


In more than three dozen interviews by The Associated Press with women in critical suburbs, nearly all expressed dismay — or worse — at Trump’s racially polarizing insults and what was often described as unpresidential treatment of people.

You've lost the plot.

Nah, you just misunderstand the purpose of dictionaries, and are woefully ignorant of philosophy and logic...
