I don't consider a person who's republican automatically racist. They are probably sheltered and/or ignorant of the struggles of minorities, though.

It is kind of a weird statement. Like what about conservative minorities?

The problem is so many people have a elementary-school understanding of racism that they feel as long as they aren't literally attacking people of color or using racial slurs then they don't deserve to be called a racist.

it's not that simple. it's actually a bit more nuanced. the irrational contempt comes in the form of fear and other things, too. and that's scratching the surface.

there is no such thing as a "SJW version." you're either using the term correctly or you are NOT.

hold yourself accountable and stop being a coward who deflects to other people.

Pretty much. Sjws often use the term incorrectly. A racist is not someone who says something you dont like.

a racist can say things you DO like, too.

I don't understand why people are so quick to draw up arbitrary prerequisites to either validate or invalidate the criteria already established.

The word racist has essentially lost its effect. Now, when people hear that word, 99% of us just roll our eyes because its probably an unintelligent accusation made because somebody has a Trump hat.

The left has cried wolf so much throughout the past decade.

Most people see it as a dog whistle to the left. I cant control that; its the public opinion on the matter. You cant turn on the news without seeing a dozen racism accusations and most people dont want to hear it. Blame them, not me.
