Where do they have this definition on their site? Edit: n/m, found it. https://archive.ph/XAonF They later changed it to: "Racism occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity. (Prof. Robert Livingston, The Conversation)" with a link to https://archive.ph/V84E7 . Later still, they got rid of the page at that URL entirely. "As a case study, take ADL’s definition of racism. A few years ago, ADL updated our definition to reflect that racism in the United States manifests in broader and systemic ways and to explicitly acknowledge the targeting of people of color — among many others — by the white supremacist extremism we have tracked for decades. While this is true, this new frame narrowed the meaning in other ways. And, by being so narrow, the resulting definition was incomplete, rendering it ineffective and therefore unacceptable. It’s true, it’s just not the whole truth. It alienated many people who did not see their own experience encompassed in this definition, including many in the Jewish community." tl;dr "So, in the US it's all white supremacy, but that was too narrow a focus so we have to be more subtle about it." :-P
