I try to get my hands on old dictionaries just for this sort of thing. Here is a photo from my oldest Webster. A webster international, copyright 1961, followed by two photos from my 81-83 ( copyright page gone, lists Reagan first term as current president) Webster unabridged .

This is ok. The more they’re forced to put their ‘thinking’ into actual words, the clearer it becomes that the only victims of institutionalized oppression in this country are white men.

agree - i quite like how open and direct they are being about this. all you need to do with this article is show it to someone and point out the obvious fact that there is no reason to change the definition of something.
