# Racism The term racism has nowadays two main definitions, due to the onset of [newspeak](newspeak.md): - **original definition**: Great hatred and/or hostility towards specific [races](race.md) of people. For example the [Nazi](nazism.md) genocide of [Jews](jew.md) was an act of racism in the sense of the term's original meaning. - **[newspeak](newspeak.md) definition**: Disagreement with the mainstream [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) propaganda regarding the question of human [race](race.md). For example anyone who claims human race has a basis in biology is a racist in the modern meaning of the term. ## See Also - [political correctness](political_correctness.md)
