My biggest problem is that it's an IMPORTANT word, one that should not be diluted or trivialized. It should MEAN something other than an epithet tossed around to put someone on the defensive and avoid an honest discussion.All your political terms are like that, empty, hollow, meaningless; as a result of indiscriminate faux labeling to avoid real discussion and analysis, the very behavior the power structure was hoping for. The intent all along was to have the masses respond emotionally instead of coherently, and it worked/works really well on an teed up anxious population. People no longer think, they just react in Pavlovian fashion upon the sound of the bell.To make things worse, the PC zealots have so over-used the term "racist" at this point that the word isn't much more than a punchline.

If it is an important word, it must be a valid description for someone. Are any people who are labeled racist, in fact, racist? Or....has the overuse that you speak of somehow exonerated those who are racist?
There are people who are racist.
There are people who aren't racist, but don't mind that others are racist.
There are people who aren't racist and do mind that others are racist.
Name a person....any person. He or she fits one of these three descriptions.
