Errr....what? It's right there in black and white, dude.
Yes or no: you think every definition of a word needs to apply in order to make its usage correct?
In the case of racism, yes. Otherwise, one is equating bigotry with racism.
which you obviously do and keep proving LOLOnly if one even fails at dictionary reading.

Dude, EVERYTHING is racist.
Well, there's simple nihilism for ya. Why bother with equating bigotry and AA with racism when one can just proclaim everything is racist and thereby racism is not so much a problem as a natural state. Wonderful.
I'm equating racial bigotry with racism because according to the dictionary, racial bigotry IS racism.In the case of racism, yes. Otherwise, one is equating bigotry with racism.

Only if you don't read all of the definition.
That's not how definitions work. And you know that. So why are you pretending that you don't know better?
In the case of a social construct, it does work like that. Ignoring the social aspects of a social construct is stupidity.
You NEVER read all the definitions as a whole when viewing a dictionary - each definition is part of the whole, but a situation need only meet one definition's requirements in order to fit that word.Only if you don't read all of the definition.

Racism is not an individual act, bigotry is. They should not be equated.

We don't need to change the meaning. We just need people to see the meaning of the concept. Every sociology department sees the meaning, because the perspective is at the social level. No individual 'does racism'.
He did racism.
He's doing racism.
He's racisiming
Never seen it.
Why?
Because it's not a ****ing individual act.
You forgot about #2. Is it so difficult to consider the entire dictionary definition? Really, the dictionary serves as an introduction to the concept, and you can't even manage to understand the entire abstract?

In the OP example, the individual hiring is acting on his own racist belief.
And it certainly impacts potential employees of the 'wrong' race.
