It is a little fun but the fact that they use two different definitions of racism seems like it will prevent anything from becoming of it.

If a group of people would decide to use the word "murder" to denote the act of speeding with your car, and somebody from that group would then publicly confess that her or she is a murderer, should the police investigate the issue?

My favorite thing becoming of systemic racism is Michelle Obama's book Becoming. If anybody is in the market for the profound widsom of a person who overcame obstacles that only a woman of color could ever truly understand, please read that book. I am going to schedule an online book club meeting about it for whites only so we can have a safe space to discuss amongst ourselves the Wisdom of the Blacks without fear of being called stupid or otherwise incapable of comprehending the experiences outlined in the book. I don't believe that as a white person I can EVER understand the Black experience but michelle Obama has taken some her her precious time to educate us and I am honored to spend my own time lapping at the puddle of wisdom she left at her feet.

Good analogy to the present situation.
