The Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism offers this definition of “neoracism”:
neo-racism noun
neo-rac·ism | \ nē-ō-ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm \1a. : a belief that race is a real and inescapable social construct that determines an individual’s identity, agency, beliefs, ability, or culture, such that members of different race groups can never understand each other due to intrinsic and insurmountable cultural differences.
1b. : prejudice, discrimination, stereotyping, or antagonism directed against a person or people based on this belief.
2 : discrimination, behavior or attitudes toward individuals or groups that reflect and foster the belief that members of some race groups are permanently subordinate to members of other race groups.
In other words, “neoracism” is a modern reenactment of racism.

Thank you, Anonymous!
typo + first line: ‘this definition of “neorealism”:’ (a likely autocorrect) I’ve found most of the writers for FAIR to be freethinkers who see what they are resisting as an ideology. I’m grateful for their efforts. The definition of neoracism might note that it is an ideology and go on to specify its doctrines.
Thank you for pointing out my typo – I will gladly blame it on autocorrect! And thanks for your additional comment too, of course.
