"Intellectually dishonest" is a great buzzword. If you care more about playing according to some conversational rulebook than furthering the development of a just society you really have your priorities in line. It's a literal appeal to authority and it immediately allows you to write off the entire line of argument standing behind it.

This is an adorable fallacy, but it's also the kind of thing that would get fixed in a freshman-level philosophy seminar. If you think that you're furthering the development of a just society by ignoring any dissenting opinions, you're not likely to accomplish much.

I'm not going to respond to you other than to call you out as a reactionary and a racist.
