Yes, my relatives in China are amused by this. Most people in most places have defined "racism" to mean the judgment that a person is bad in some way merely because of his or her race, regardless of any personal characteristics. But in recent years, Western leftists have edited the definition to make it race-specific, (un)ironically. You can only be guilty of it if you are white. If you aren't white, no matter what you say about or do to another race, it might be bad, but it can't be racist. The justification is that racism is about power, and whites are in charge, so only they can be racist.

So, my relatives want to know, are the baizuo (white leftists) claiming that in China, nothing white people say about or do to Chinese or blacks can be racist? Or are they claiming that they are actually "in charge" of us in China?
