The Definition of Racism: 

According to Merriam Webster: "a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race."

According to Oxford Dictionary: "the unfair treatment of people who belong to a different race; violent behavior towards them."

According to Lexico Powered by Oxford: "Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized."
