I've seen racism reframed in a similar manner. It feels a bit sketchy
TBH, redefining racism as "prejudice plus power" in an academic setting is way more useful, otherwise most "anti-racism" scolars would be researching the negative effects of PoC making fun of unseasoned food.
That does make sense, but it's just that some try to redefine it in regular conversations which has the exact same behaviour be either racism or not racism, depending on who says it and who is the recipient. And that just makes it weird, it goes against the common definition.
