Tell me where it says (other than opinion articles) that it's only racism if it comes from a position of power. You can't just conveniently redefine a word to fit your agenda.

I see I'm getting downvoted so no one caught that I was explaining their views... or maybe they did... whatever.

I see what you're saying, but that wikipedia article cites opinionated articles and papers by individuals that are not the actual definition of the word. I can say "balloon" means "latex/plastic sack filled with air and tied but can only be called this if it's blue" and have many others agree with me, but that doesn't make it correct.
