    You don’t have to get a dictionary that’s too old to find the definition of racism that strictly required belief of superiority. With the old definition, things like slavery and genocide would be a direct conclusion/justification a racist would make. Words evolve though. Nowadays racism still makes you a piece of shit, but it doesn’t necessarily make you literally Columbus or Hitler - and that is reflected in the dictionary as a new definition; where hatred is enough.
