That's a racist, you haven't defined racist as a word in all its uses.

I remember at school, if it was cold and someone said there's a nip in the air, you would often get noises imitating machine gun fire with arms pointed at the sky.

Not quite, but nearly.
A racist is someone who believes that one's own race is superior to all other races.
There's a subtle difference. Your definition specifies that (all members of) another race (singular, specific, exclusive of all races) are inferior.
The correct definition specifies that one believes that one's own race is superior to all other races.
Of course we are using the definition of race in its socially constructed sense.
There is only one race, the human race. The word 'race' has come to be used in place of ethnicity, nationality, culture, etc.

I really can't understand why people are getting so upset about a headstone for a dog, that died 80 odd years ago, being removed.
Or is that they really want to preserve a certain word in the vocabulary?
I can fully understand why someone, today, would name their dog with the 'n' word. It's because they absolutely do want to preserve that word, and use it as often as they can.

I am not going to argue with you again. Reread all the other threads.
Suffice to say that if there is only one race then there can be no such thing as racism and your definition is nonsense,

So, it's only a word when used as a noun(?) to describe a person.
You asked me to define racist. That is what I did.
What are you on about?
A racist person will be using it as an adjective.
Actually that does verify that words cannot be racist, doesn't it?

How come your screen captures are two different shapes/sizes?
Did you go to the bother of excluding part of your screen to make your point?

THE RACE ISSUE
There’s No Scientific Basis for Race—It's a Made-Up Label
It's been used to define and separate people for millennia. But the concept of race is not grounded in genetics.

I suggest that you're the one that needs to do the reading.
Your ideas are Victorian, out-of-date, and potentially racist.
Ok, then there can be no such thing as racism so you are talking nonsense as usual.
I'm trying to understand your use of the word. You're a bit unusual in some of your views, in particular around language so it's hard to understand what you're saying.
I'm appalled. One of my acquaintances when doing his NS was charged with looking after that grave
