In case you haven’t heard, the definition of “racism” has changed.

The new definition: no definition.

That would be because “definition” suggests something specific. Something being defined. A term cannot be defined and at the same time refer to any and all things, which is where it seems we are with the previously-meaningful term.

Though, there has been a particular usage picking up steam over the last few years.

According to the wokest of woke, racism is no longer the judging of someone according to the color of their skin. Rather, it appears, it’s anything from someone who’s white directed against anyone who isn’t.

Sometimes.

Just ask Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo — she recently tweeted in opposition to Kamala Harris.

The 49-year-old actress was responding to a post by Bloomberg noting the “emerging trend” of Kamala attacking Bernie Sanders.

See for yourself:

Because she’s overconfident and believes he is her only competition https://t.co/HYPRXtoLIr — Ellen Pompeo (@EllenPompeo) August 1, 2019

In a casual and mundane world, that would be a comment of nothingness.

But the most social-justice-aware among us exist, it seems, as the symbol of sloth in the movie Seven: “He’d die of shock right now if you were to shine a flashlight in his eyes.”

At any given moment, they’re Scarlett O’Hara just waiting to faint.

And from all indications, they grew up without a dictionary.

Therefore:

Let me be very clear this was racist — Delonté Donray ➒ (@dilemmv) August 1, 2019

Black women are allowed only a certain amount of confidence. must always yield something to whatever white man is around — Petty_Shabazz 🌈 (@a_for2day) August 1, 2019

It's disappointing that you single out the black woman as "overconfident" when she is actually defending her record against the frontrunner whose campaign has been solely fighting her, calling her "slippery and slick" and other slurs. On that stage Biden was her only competition. — Victoria Brownworth 🏳️‍🌈 (@VABVOX) August 1, 2019

I guess it’s some of that New Math everybody’s talking about:

non-white Kamala to white Bernie + criticism = Not Racism

white Ellen to non-white Kamala + criticism = Racism

But to some, it didn’t add up:

Let me guess, the first thing you did was look at the color of Ellen's skin and came to a conclusion without diving deeper? That is what I thought. — hughrhodes (@hughrhodes) August 2, 2019

The way things are going, nobody is going to communicate anymore because everything is "racist". This society is so damn sensitive and everybody is so badly wanting 'likes' that they'll say anything to drum up arguments. We're doomed — MrBback (@Smoothkaos) August 2, 2019

Any person, regardless of color, can be overconfident. — GamerGrrl (@Gamergrrl74) August 2, 2019

There is a lot of racist stuff in this world bruh…This aint it! — Marcus Page (@mrpage9) August 2, 2019

And there was this:

Ellen herself was perplexed:

Not sure why my comment is now a racial comment ..so weak.. two people on a stage with a bunch of others they all came off a certain way and they are up there for intreptation… stop looking for shit to get mad about https://t.co/yox5u2D8T4 — Ellen Pompeo (@EllenPompeo) August 1, 2019

She ended the night thusly:

Goodnight everybody …love you all no matter what … you can feel anyway you want ….but so can I …and have love for everyone ❤️💋💯 — Ellen Pompeo (@EllenPompeo) August 1, 2019

With the woke’s transformation, the world doesn’t just become much dumber; it also becomes…well, less defined.

And that’s a bummer to me, because they’re attacking something I very much love: the meaning of words.

It’s demeaning.
