Thank you for a great reply. Really.

It sounds to me like yes, the problems like racism and sexism do exist, but the way they are used to bully and shame one's political opponents is unacceptable.

Or may be I simply have fallen into this exact trap: put my own meaning into a fuzzy article and then hastly proceeded to passionately agree with myself.

So while I don't really agree with you (I would be "somewhat disagree" in an opinion poll on that question), I think it's a totally legitimate premise to have.

My objection is to the article's (really, two separate layers of articles!) claim to have clear empirical support for that premise, when the data is anything but clear.
