Apparently not giving a black acquaintance some of my chips is racist. From my experience, minorities tend to feel entitled to things because of their race and that anything that doesn't go their way is racist. I can refuse my white friends chips all the time and nobody gives a crap but when it happens to a minority, I'm a racist.
That said, real racism is terrible and has led to the suffering, poverty, enslavement and killing of many innocent people. The recent sharp turn right of the republican party is in part a racist backlash by angry white men against minorities and woman gaining more power and influence and are no longer being controlled. Unfortunately, the left has trivialized racism and has turned to minority driven politics to try and combat racism, which while still a problem, but no where near to the extent it was back in the 60s and have made even small, meaningless things such as not giving your friend chips turn into racism. It's the reason all the leftists can go about saying trump supporters are all racists. Some of them are for sure, but a majority are not or at least are not consciously racist. It seems to be taking a serious issue and slapping in onto opponents to try and attract voters "oh he's a racist, now vote for me" and establish a sense of superiority "they're all racists and horrible people" when in reality it is a terrible issue that is being trivialized and overused.
I do agree some minorities are too quick to call out "racist" at everything. I used to have a friend (black girl) that tried to call everything racist and/or misogynist. Needless to say that got old pretty quick.

Fake "activists" really annoy me.
It's often not even minorities themselves, but self-anointed non-minority defenders of these minorities.
This winter has been a dud for heat waves here. I want my 90s back and lots of 100s in summer and fall to make up for it.
I don't care what color your skin is as long as it's hot outside. And no, 80s is not hot for me. I need 90s, 100s, and 110s.
