The weaponization of the term 'racist' is probably the biggest social issue facing America right now -- I rank it over actual racism, because (a) said weaponization cheapens and invalidates actual racism, (b) it radically and irrevocably alters the conversation, preventing actual progress against real racism, and (c) it's much more prevalent (says the white guy, so YMMV). 

example: the title of this thread is wildly inappropriate, from an intellectual perspective. The term "possibly racist views" is outlandish and terrible, especially as a pretense for discussion.
