Have we just abandoned all expectation to respond relevantly to what has been said & make sense?

What you said made perfect sense. Ignore anyone who uses silencing words as battering rams: bigot, racist, privilege, [fill in the blank]-phobic, racist, jealous, Nazi... Those words are meant to get you to back down. DON’T.pic.twitter.com/xTpRt3SrwO

What about if they actually are racist though?

Use the information you have to illustrate the point - without name-calling. Sometimes conversations that use facts instead of mean labels have resulted in a changed mind - or at least one not so firmly closed. Little by little we make a change.

Okay. But like... What if I do that. Have the conversation and arguments at left, debunk all the arguments and points and still they hold into their ideological position. Can I call them racist then?

No, at times they aren't or actively deny it. Dude, you have white nationalists that insist that they aren't racists. Many bigots are well-aware of how unfavorable their positions are too. It's why some relabel themselves as "race realists". You give a very simplistic take here.

There are very few occasions on which looking at possible racial differences is warranted. Mostly if you're a geneticist working in this area. Generally, it's even less helpful than going on about men and violence statistics.

I certainly find it so with gender and this should not be understood to indicate any kind of sexist ideology.
