As of Friday, the group's new and 'interim' definition states that racism 'occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity.'
The Anti-Defamation League has revised its definition of racism in the wake of the controversy sparked by "The View" co-host Whoopi Golberg's comments on the Holocaust.
Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League , announced the decision in an essay published this week, saying the organization's definition had been incomplete,"ineffective and therefore unacceptable.""In all honesty, as I re-read it this past week, it struck me that it didn't even speak to my own family's experience with the racism they experienced as Jews from the Middle East," Greenblatt wrote.
