No you cannot simply redefine it to include bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, why do'n we just let those words do their jobs.

It is not I that is redefining it. I can not redefine it. Society certainly can. However, there is no need to redefine it.
Racism:
Quote:
|
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
|
Bigotry:
Quote:
|
stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.
|
In fact, according to the dictionary.com's definition, it is more appropriate to use the term racist than bigot when dealing with racial intolerance. It is you who is redefining the word.
