I'm not at all surprised that the academic meaning of the term "racism" is entirely different than the colloquial meaning. I am, however, confused as to why people are demanding the academic usage enter into common usage.

The academic meaning and common use is only different in "academic" circles filled with modern feminists, that insist on it being different, for no scientific reason what-so-ever. For instance, Prof Jordan Peterson from U of Toronto, is a well known disputer of such alternate narratives mascaraing as academics
If ISIS started publishing papers distorting the meaning of terrorism, peer-reviewed it among sympathizers, it wouldn't supersede the proper, scientific definition of the word

Except there is a huge difference between someone just saying mean things about people who look like you, and also being able to actually have an affect on your life. Sarah Jeong can't do anything to white people. Donald Trump has quite a history of not renting to persons of color.
