So I was reading this and there's paragraphs inserted about anti-racism and DEI in middle of his writing that aren't present in older versions?

The chapter "Some Practical Aspects" in the newer version has this verse:
>">9. In addition to anger and irritation, we must also struggle against other traits, such as fearfulness, superstition, prejudice, vanity, ambition, curiosity, the urge to
gossip, and the tendency to discriminate on the basis of such outer characteristics as social status, gender, race, and so on."

This is found nowhere in the original... Apparently the author even vocally supported and wrote about eugenics and biological race.

What the fuck is this and how to know any classics aren't tampered with like this?

Why not? Steiner wrote in German.
