Three of the four senses:
- Influenced or determined by race.
- Divided and segregated along the boundaries of race.
- Othered; of color; considered as having a race, as contrasted with white people when considered as not having a race.
Each has only a single citation, each one being ambiguous as to whether it is correctly assigned to an adjective sense rather than a verb (past participle) sense and as to which of the four definitions offered it might belong.
Since no other OneLook dictionary has an entry for racialized (but see AHD's definitions of racialize (verb).), we should be careful to define such a potentially fraught term. DCDuring (talk) 22:40, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- FWIW there are plenty of citations of "very racialized", suggested by WT:English adjectives to distinguish adjectives from nouns, and though it's not clear that this distinguishes adjectives from verbs, some do seem adjectival; it wouldn't surprise me if an adjective exists. My objection, and why I raised it in the Tea Room, is that the citations provided seem better parsed as verbs, for reasons I noted in the TR, including that most can be expanded from "racialized" to "racialized by (society, other people, etc)" without changing meaning, or can be recast in the present tense (from e.g. "racialized people" to "people who society racializes"), again suggesting that when it's unclear if racialized is an adjective or a verb, Occam's razor would suggest it's the verb. Any senses should be covered at one POS or another, of course; as I think you said in the TR, if there are senses that only exist in ambiguous-POS-racialized and not verbal-racialize, it'd be evidence they were adjectival. - -sche (discuss) 00:38, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

- For the record, things going on in my personal life are preventing me from being as involved in this discussion and process as I would like to be. Given that, I'll be largely silent and inactive. Take care. —The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 17:27, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
