I might as well call them "people", in that case. The term racist has no real impact if it's used as loosely as you're using it.

Oh I disagree the word racist evokes a pretty emotional response regardless of how many times you use it. 2016 and all that. Just look at how much effort you're putting in to trying to prove what a "real racist" is?
You're right, I should accept that the meaning is diluted enough that good childhood memories makes me racist. It's 2016 and all.
No you should probably accept that racism is part of the human condition and acting like it doesn't exist is about as intellectually riveting as the latest Micheal Bay film.
Yes, we agree. It's 2016, and we should accept that 'racist' means approximately the same thing as 'person'.
