the word 'racist' is used so often for so many non-racist things it's really losing all meaning for me. I bet in a few years they'll have squeezed all the power out of it and will move onto a different term. What's the plausible runner up?

I don't actually think all criticism of cat calling is racist. I was poking at how calling things racist sometimes can infringe on other things strong leftism values.
