Even if we were to drop the power dynamics element of the definition of "racism," the right's accusations of "racism" are bizarre and convoluted. They're not even talking about open discrimination against white people; they're talking about things like the slightly-less-than preferential treatment of white people or white people being accused of being "racist" when they quite plainly are.
Put simply, we can define racism "objectively." The problem is that Republicans still wouldn't know how to use that "objective" definition correctly. They want it to mean something other than what "racism" means. Specifically, they want "anti-racism" to be defined as "racism."
