... Interesting...what dictionary contains
this definition?
WordNet. Online dictionary. Look it up.

Such a definition makes no sense, and on a number of levels, including
simply ignoring the etymology of the word. ...

Damn the luck, eh Richard ? **** a bunch of dictionaries
all to hell. Dictionaries ? We don't need no steenking
dictionaries. And on a number of levels.

"A bunch of dictionaries" don't have anything to do with it. I looked
in a couple, and none mention anything other than race with regard to
"racist." And since WordNet doesn't claim to be a "dictionary," not
even _a_ "dictionary" is involved. And you avoided the part where
behind door #1, your WordNet definition making no sense, and behind door
#2, you are a "racist." Send not to know for whom the doorbell chimes,
it chimes for thee....

HTH,
