Maybe it used to actually mean something, but not anymore
It's not though. I mean there has been an anti-racist movement like I am saying since at least the 19th century, and individuals who wrote things like that since long before that. It's always been sort of fringe and drowned out by people who insist that racism is hating other races. Those sorts of racists are especially unpleasant to encounter, but they're not the totality of racism.
I was first exposed to what racism really is by reading the works of WEB Dubois, but most of the people in the same class reading the same book didn't pick up on the same lessons I did that he tried to convey regarding coming to terms with being "mixed race" or "colored" as an identity in an America that I think we can all agree was pretty racist at the time.
If you compare him to a contemporary like Marcus Garvey, who I believe was definitely racist, it kinda seems like even though anti-racism has existed, there are always people who just want to make racism work.
Like the distinction between "race relations" and "anti-racism" kinda gets touched upon when people are like "people think black people can't be racist but black people are racist" and I'm like no shit. Everyone can be racist because we are all essentially equal.

Just googled water boarding definition :
an interrogation technique simulating the experience of drowning, in which a person is strapped, face up, to a board that slopes downward at the head, while large quantities of water are poured over the face into the breathing passages.

So pouring water in someone's face "upside down" is torture?

I don't think you've even have to flip them over to qualify as torture, unless it is consensual of course.

There's always a cheeseburger dangling right above your fat walrus tongue. Just drive down to Jewdonalds and hand over your shekels.
