It is that but there is a stubborn refusal to accept that the conventional meaning exists & just tell people they don't know what it means.

Right, but there's also a sociological definition which people are using to differentiate between two unequal things.

Yes & they insist that that's the only one that exists rather than saying 'I'm using the word to mean "systemic racism"' 1/2

Also, they do this when the person who has said something is racist is clearly not talking abt that but abt prejudice on grounds of race.

That's kind did my point. Both sides (willfully?) ignorant that the other is using a different definition. So we get nowhere.

It seems obvious to me that "reverse racism doesn't exist" is clearly using a power dynamic definition.

Yes! And that is why I am saying to recognise that the people saying it does are using the conventional definition.

Do you think we disagree on something? If so, what exactly?

I don't believe that this is postmodernism at play, and rather it's just a semantic issue. Along with people's desire to argue on twitter.

The 'racism as prejudice + power' definition is critical race theory which is Crenshaw which draws on PoMo. The authoritarianism follows.
