Or, now hear me out, people can stop enabling them and acknowledging that mundane gestures or phrases/words are now racist. Their goal is to turn benign things to be racist fixtures and people are just letting them do it.

There is a difference between acknowledging it and pretending it's automatically racist and reacting to it like it's a slur with a history

Is jogger racist? No. Can it be used as a racist term? Yes. Does this mean if a black guy is jogging down the road and I refer to him as a jogger that I'm only doing it because he's black? No. Does it mean I'm racist if I call a black guy walking around whistling the tune to Match of the Day a jogger because he's black? Yes.

Context. Matters.
