Too bad that maniacs like you are.

I think the more important problem with racism as an accusation is that it has invented a crime without proving a harm has occurred. The accusation conjures the crime after the fact even in the absence of anything in any particular instance other than hurt feelings.

I don't think any punishment is small enough that you can justify not even thinking before enacting it. I mean, "due process" is maybe excessive to invoke, but "a modicum of rational thought" is not.

No, I just don't language as having special causal powers. Even Nazi language is only as dangerous as the irrationality of its listeners. It doesn't bother me if language is racist, it bothers me if it's harmful or if it's wrong. Not all language that describes race is wrong.
