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 wasn't rightfully called out. They were wrong. I'm not going to be like 'no they were right' just because there's a lot of them. Crowds chanting a thing doesn't make it any more true.

But on the other hand, have you ever been the victim of gaslighting and abuse - where you do something that's fine and the abuser convinces you it's bad? There's a spectrum between the situation you describe and the situation I describe. In this case I think it's closer to mine.

I have been the victim of gaslighting and abuse, btw, where I thought I was wrong because the other person was upset at something I did, they explained how it was offensive to them, I was like ok - you're right. And later I realized the whole dynamic was *fucked* up

You said something very racist. And you had nothing to even back it up by your own admission. You aren’t being abused right now; I’m sorry that happened in the past, but that is not what’s at play. You’re being harmful. Jfc

It was NOT racist. Why the hell are you saying it's racist? I did have stuff to back it up. I never had the concept of black people being more likely to catcall before I started walking through major cities and it slowly dawning on me that it made up like 80% of who catcalled.
