The power of an accusation of racism is being diluted like the warnings of the boy who cried wolf. Once I was reflexively appalled. Now I'm reflexively sympathetic to the accused until there is evidence. If that makes me a designated racist it's a label I'm much less horrified by than I once was. Almost as an acknowledgement of that dilution a new label has been popularized: white supremacist. So now the same is happening to that label. I wonder what's next.
