Merriam-Webster 更新了 racism 这个条目
之前有朋友说过：https://www.pdawiki.com/forum/thread-40738-1-1.html那时候还没有定稿，现在Merriam-Webster 已经上了新释义：https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism
我感觉例证选得也不错。

atlantic 就此事有一篇报道：https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/09/how-racism-made-its-way-into-dictionary-merriam-webster/615334/
里面还提及了Merriam-Webster的一些历史，不熟悉的朋友可以看看。
2020年真是流年不利，世界剧烈变化，新词新义新用法自然是层出不穷，我劝那些想出版「英汉新词词典」的朋友等一等，说不定再过一阵子全书篇幅涨十个百分点唷
