On a question a few weeks back about this, somebody tried to argue targeting the white minority and treating them worse than the black majority wasn't racism

No, I didn't get it either!
How does is seizure of white farmers property racism?

Perhaps this will help.
"In July of 2012, Dr. Gregory Stanton, head of the nonprofit group Genocide Watch, conducted a fact-finding mission in South Africa. He concluded that there is a coordinated campaign of genocide being conducted against white farmers, known as Boers. “The farm murders, we have become convinced, are not accidental,” Stanton contended. "It was very clear that the massacres were not common crimes," he added -- especially because of the absolute barbarity used against the victims. "We don’t know exactly who is planning them yet, but what we are calling for is an international investigation,” he added.
The number of farm murders, or "plaasmoorde" as it is called in Afrikaans, is staggering. Over the last decade, it is estimated that at least 3000 Boers have been killed. Estimating the number of murders is necessary because the ANC has banned crime statistics from being compiled, claiming they scare off foreign investment. Moreover, the world knows little about the savagery that accompanies those killings. Many victims, including women and infant children, are raped or tortured before they are killed. Some have boiling water poured down their throats, some are burned with hot pokers, and some are hacked to death with machetes, or disemboweled. Several others have been tied to their own cars and dragged for miles"
Togo, horrific but still does not fall into the definition of racism.
Course not Danny. Just "white" bad luck then?
danny, //...there is a coordinated campaign of genocide being conducted against white farmers//

Why isn't that racism?
/Why isn't that racism?/ anyone non white surely cannot be a racist
// You can bet that if the UK Government had a similar "internal policy" that the World and his dog would be screaming blue murder. //True Togo, but there's a subtle difference here though, isn't there!//

which is - - - they dont !
( HMG does NOT have an internal policy to grab farms wivvart compo)

the great people of sarf africa are intent to turn their country into an economic basket case ( or as Trump would say - shothole country) like their northern ( sorry norvern) neighbour Zim....

why would we be interfering ? Like we did in Zim, or Zam, or Tan, or Mal, or .... suvvern Sudan - - or eritrea - or somalia - or Mali or
spanith morocco or ...
".. does not fall within the definition of racism"

You're joking right?

Treating a minority detrimentally in favour of a majority is the very definition of racism. If I had to explain to a child what racism is this would be a text book example.

I'd suggest you read the dictionary definition you posted.
Togo, Naomi, fender. Can you fit this into the definition of racism?

Trump is down as a racist and he only wanted to stop certain Muslims from entering the US, but he didn't want to kill them.
Deskdiary,. which part of the definition(in your opinion) fits?
//the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life. //

You know like impairing the economic or political and social rights by murdering them en masse.

//Racist ideology can become manifest in many aspects of social life. Racism can be present in social actions, practices, or political systems//
You know like "social actions that encourage the murder of certain communities.

I could go on all afternoon translating the wiki tome, which is of course written to highlight racism in only one direction. Still the leftthinkers wonder why people, who can actually think for themselves, increasingly turn there faces away from the cant.

Their. (That was spell checker . Damned nuisance)
danny, //Can you fit this into the definition of racism? //

What do you think doesn't fit?
How about the bit about prejudice and discrimination against another race?
They're only stealing white farms. Not black farms.
Deskdiary, that comes with a feeling of superiority which I suggest does not apply. What the farmers are going through is horrendous, but it is not spurred by racism but greed.
danny, //What the farmers are going through is horrendous, but it is not spurred by racism but greed. //

I disagree. I think hatred plays a big part.
Naomi, then we will have to agree to differ.
