By doing so they cheapen the value of the words' actual definition, I think, which is really bad. Words and their meanings matter!
Considerthis, for example, from the Durham City Council: @ProTemJillianJ http://j.mp/2uenbf9 The Mayor and her colleagues assume it's acceptable and admirable to use accusations of "racist, misogynist & transphobic" to indicate their absolute comparative virtue.https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1015705032321323008 …

No. Calling racists, racist, does not cheapen the word "racist".

I suspect they use these words to mask their own prejudices.

Except him; because the one thing that simply cannot be tolerated are the intolerant. You can embrace white cis dudes who are racist, sexist and transphobic - or you can embrace all the ppl they don't tolerate. Women, PoC, LGBT ppl. In practice, you can't have it both ways.
