Aside from the N word, I believe calling a stranger who is not a racist, a racist, is the worst thing today you can call a person. It is dehumanizing. It implies a broken and unfixable moral compass.
Not only is it an insult of indescribable proportions, it insults victims of true racism. It weakens valid arguments of real racism. When everything becomes racist, nothing is shocking.
I agree with the bolded part, and this negates the unbolded part.
There is nothing dehumanizing anymore about being called a racist. It is a meaningless phrase. It is not an insult. It is nothing.
Call me a racist. I am not the least bit insulted. Maybe I am a racist...just like GWB or Nancy Pelosi, or puppetry, or a cow. Meh. It means nothing to me.
