The Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism [1] 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.
