When someone is racist and sexist, it is everyone's duty to call what they are: racist and sexist.

Agreed. But if you call anyone who disagrees with you on economic policy a racist and sexist, it opens the door for an actual racist and sexist to get in.
Which is not the case right now. So yes the president elect of the US is racist and sexist and a % of his supporters are openly racist and/or sexist people.

This is not a disputed fact in anyway

But when you claim that "all" his supporters are racists and sexists, you lose validity and just enrage people who are not which has adverse reactions
