Pushing for unified definition of racism

Organized groups of Muslims in Australia are pressuring for a unified definition of racism (or bigotry), so as to block the push for an unjust criterion for antisemitism.

Bravo! This is an important issue, and they have chosen the right direction for solving it.

Side issue:

The word "racism" means prejudice based on race. A prejudice based on religion, sex, gender, national origin, or caste, is not racism. It is a similar moral issue, and may be equally unjust, but it doesn't fit into the word "racism".

Let's not adopt terminology that builds confusion into the moral foundation of our views. When we want to reject bigotry whether based on race or not, let's use the broader word "bigotry".
