Evidence boundary

This answer uses the power-aware framework stated by the Ontario Human Rights Commission and the cited public-sector guidance. Definitions of racism vary across legal, academic, and community contexts, so the page does not claim that “prejudice plus power” is the only valid definition everywhere. It distinguishes attitudes, discriminatory conduct, and systemic power for this specific fill-in prompt; it does not decide whether a particular event legally constitutes racial discrimination.
