Imagine "Be Less Black", "Be Less Jewish", "Be Less Native American", "Be Less Inuit".

Neoracism. We need a word that captures the essence of such thinking and "neoracism" is a good candidate.

What's the difference between "racism" and "neoracism"?

Well a lot of people seem to think the definition of racism has changed to mean "power + prejudice," instead of just judging someone based on their race, so theoretically "neoracism" would just mean what "racism" meant ~20 years ago.

"power + prejudice" is referred to as "structural racism". It's a sociology term. It was never intended to replace the common definition of racism, it was meant to be a framework for thinking about the different types and effects of racism. Structural racism doesn't preclude other types of racism, and structural racism can be a cause for acts of racism.

I think the focus is on structural racism now because the more blatant forms are drastically less common than they used to be.
