"Racism" and "fascism" are just thought-terminating sneer words. Their meaning is totally context-dependent.

E.g. Some people think the lack of affirmative action is racism. Some people think the presence of affirmative action is racism.

Once you actually try to think about issues instead of label them, you'll realize that these are indeed matters of political ideology.

Go past the thought-stop sneer words and investigate what people actually want and mean.
