  1. It's about destruction/manipulation of language, overloading the term "racist/racism" in an effort to wield an emotional energy detached from the semantic value that conveys it. It's an attempt to deny the organic nature of language usage and substitute, in its place, a mechanical chaos of redefinition. This effort will fail, though, at the grass roots level, where the utility of language shows such redefinition to be nonsensical. There'll be no traction where it matters.
