Then what is your proof and explain to me how’s it qualifies as evidence.
Also showing me opinion pieces to justify your subjective opinion on what racism means is not evidence either.

The tweet I posted earlier is enough evidence.
Also what about the dictionary definition makes it objective? Do you have evidence that the dictionarydefinition is objective?

How is the tweet you posted considered to be enough evidence? Does the referenced tweet confirm that all (remember, for Jeong to not be racist, then absolutely zero of her tweets were racist) of her tweets from 2013 through 2016 were just jokes? How so?
I also did not say that the dictionary definitions are objective, so this is a strawman fallacy. The problem is that your definition of racism is subjective and it is based on other people's subjective definitions of racism. You just shoved two editorials in my face expecting me to not question it and then, asked me to prove something I did not claim when you haven't done your due diligence. Stop being intellectually lazy.
Anyways, I would rather use the Merriam-Webster and Oxford's definitions because (1) dictionaries actually take note of the words' historical usages, etymologies, and definitions, (2) their definitions are based on linguistic description, that is the linguists' observations of their own language usage, and (3) the Oxford Dictionary is also a historical dictionary, which go over the words' historical development of their forms and meanings.
