Yes people overuse it to hell. Neither racist or sexist mean much anymore. They've been turned into rhetorical weapons rather than objective descriptions.

Just this week some moron was annoying Oxford dictionaries telling them their definition examples were sexist. What he'd done was effectively pluck a random selection out where "she" was used for a negative act or trait e.g "she had a shrill voice". and he'd declared this sexist. Which of course it's nothing of the sort. To determine whether it was sexist, you'd have to look at the dictionary as a whole and compare the male/female averages. Cherry picking is meaningless.

I don´t get what you are talking about. Do you mean that culture is genetically based, and not a product of the society they live in? You mean that people of Asian descent are born with good work ethics? :)

The explanation about how people from, mainly, Japan or China succeed (using the term Asian includes an entire continent, which also includes India, Pakistan and more, but I guess you mean Japan and China?) within a predominately white society could be a number of explanation, but we can always +trace them back to how people from China and Japan traditionally has been treated by the White majority in history, compared to people of african descent. It also has to do with the culture in their home countries, and what traditions people bring with them when arriving to a country.

It´s of course a complex explanation, but do you mean that the explanation is something else than society norms and history?

Yup, I really hate the open, tolerant and relaxed society I live in ;).

No, everyone's not a little bit racist. That's what racists say to feel better about their racism.

Actually any word can be overused

Its not only the word racist that is misused. The word privilege is massively overused often in the same sentence as the misuse of racist.

Wich is what was said, that we are all a bit racist. But as long as we dont do anything hurtfull to anybody of the group we dislike its ok. Nobody can force us to fraternise with others, but they can force us to not harm others. Its how society works and theres nothing wrong with that.

I agree a lot with him. I'm white, but I've had quite my share of racism crap since I'm in Japan. I don't really care about what people think, and I don't thinks it makes sense to forbid someone to think something, or ask people to control what they think, or have to be what we'd like or what we'd want them to be. But they have to behave. Minimal respect is what I ask for.

Also, about the thread, I also believe there is abuse of the word, but racism exists and it really get you on the nerve. When you start to think twice if it's a simple joke or not, you can become quite noisy about it.

The issue is that thouse peole come to you to argue and acuse you of this stuff. WHen you try to defendd yourself your a racist, if you dont say something back your agreeing to what the are saying and your still a raist, but you aknowledege it. If there is no wining, I will fight back then.

Its true that we need to understand where it comes from and we all agree that it has shaped the society we live on today, but that still does not excuse the behaviour of the SJW's acusing an entire race. That in fact is racims.  

Its as someone already said. We live in a lazzzy society in the west. Everytime it doesnt work out in anyway for any individual they have to have somebody to blame. women inmediatly blame men, blacks go to whites and so on. We live in a world where we never have to look at ourselfs to identify the problem and its getting out of hand. we cannot cuddle these people anymore by cowording by their accusations. If its bullshit, call it out. Let them fall back to their "racist, sexist, biggot,ect" acusatins, we all know its bull anyways.
