Yep, and we need to take the wind out of the racebaiters' sails. The best way, in my opinion, to do that is to refuse to react to the term "racist." Our responses should be along the lines of "sorry you feel that way" or "so?" Or just ignoring it altogether. We need to STOP being afraid of being called racist. I think there are actually very few of us to whom it applies and those who try to defend themselves against the term are going to lose the argument anyway. That's a foregone conclusion, because the objective isn't reasonable resolution of real racial problems; it is using the term like a slaver's whip to keep us in line. No minds will be changed and you can't "prove" to such people that you're not a racist, because it is irrelevant anyway, so responsibility for that "opinion" needs to fall back on the person throwing around the term.
What I say is "if you want to call me a racist, fine, I don't care" and just ignore it and go on.
I go one step futher. If they wish to change the meaning of words, then I am racist and proud.
muslims have no brain:
"There will never be a church allowed to be built in saudi arabia" = cultural pride.
"Mosques should never be allowed in the United States" = Racism.
