As a millenial, I agree and wish that more college-aged people would stand up to these "social justice warriors", because I know most aren't that insane. They just fear the backlash and the labels they'll end up with so they stay quiet.
I'm not afraid to tell the truth, and I'm trying to push myself to be more vocal about it. I have friends on Facebook who post the most illogical and ridiculous garbage, but when I see them in person I don't talk to them about it. Maybe I should, even if they throw a fit.
Main issue: Bringing logic and critical thinking into an emotional argument (full of propagandized "thinkers") doesn't always work. They don't even know the difference. They're taught WHAT to think rather than HOW to think.
They're convinced, let them convulse. I was just talking to a woman the other day. As we were talking she went off onto a liberal rampage. Since we were not talking anything political I was a little taken back and watch the freak show. I opted to just keep my thoughts to myself. It was actually funny to watch.
I agree. Terms like "racist," "sexist," "homophobic" and now "Islamophobic" have been so overused that they're pretty meaningless now. They are like the boy who cried wolf, and now these words have become jokes.
The definition of racism has not changed according to the dictionary. It means the belief that some races are genetically superior to others. Per the definition, saying Asians are good at math would be more "racist" than saying a certain race gets on your nerves, because it implies that a certain racial group is inherently superior to others.
I've never met a person who was actually racist according to the definition. Bigots and rude people? certainly. But never an actual racist.
It's true that there are people in the US who practice racism, sexism and discrimination. They can get away with it at small companies or organizations. But systematic racism and sexism have been eliminated. It's strange to see people so upset about these issues when we are just an advanced nation in these areas - to the point of making it a law that people will be fired if they practice discrimination! And that we give special privileges to certain groups of people so they have better chances of succeeding.
When people sling these insults around, I assume that they have absolutely nothing logical to say, and find out that it's true. Slinging insults is the last gasp of people who know they have no ground to stay on, like a cornered cat lashing out.
Racism (and the supreme ignorance that fuels it), especially that practiced against black people, remains the greatest cancer on the progression of this society.

Racism remains this country's biggest problem
