Yeah, I think alot of times that's true.
It looks pretty childish too when it's done.
Yep just like people are to quick to label someone “anti Semitic” just because there against Zionism.

Everyone does it except those smelly Samoans. 
Yes. It's the modern equivalent of calling someone a witch.
Don't like a person? Just call him a racist/witch and they are automatically considered guilty. No proof? Well hell, why would we need something as mundane as proof? Just take something they've said or done and twist it beyond recognition and you can make anyone a racist/witch.
Hopefully this latest wave of paranoia will likewise simply disappear after a short period of time.
I've found it to be the other way 'round. When a neo-con, who is obviously a racist, but is hiding behind innuendo, distortion, lies, and eupemisms to spread his message of prejudice and hate, is called on it, his conservative buddies will come to his defense, claim that he's not a racist, despite the obvious fact that he is, then accuse the person who was simply pointing out the truth of being a racist.

NO ONE has labelled you a witch

Some of the time (often on B&W) the person making the accusation REALLY NEEDS to take a look in the mirror.
Fiddle, was that to me?

' NO ONE has labelled you a witch'
Of course not, that went out of style 400 years ago.
Racism is the new thing.
But like I said, on the basics they are the same, an accusation that holds the 'proof' in the accusation itself. No further evidence is necessary beyond being accused by the 'right' person and once accused no defense will suffice.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck, what is it?
People with racist views, are just learning to hide it better.
They make strawman ballots, intended to paint a culture in a certain way, knowing fulll well they are to the core deeply prejudiced.
When the smarter people pick up on it, they are dismissed.
^ he's a witch! Burn him!
For example, many Westerners have been called 'racist' when they claim that human rights are universal principles.
Human rights are racist.
"It's the modern equivalent of calling someone a witch."
i would call it the 1990s equivalent of calling someone a terrorist.
"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck, what is it?"
so.... if... herzog weighs... the same as a duck.... HE'S A RACIST!
"Yep just like people are to quick to label someone “anti Semitic” just because there against Zionism."
people call palestinians antisemitic, and they're semites
herzog- "Human rights are racist."
Explain your view on that. Thanks.
^sarcasm socrates, relax.
No, quite to the opposite -- I think racism is alive and well, but a lot of people are in denial about the condition.
herzog- For a moment I thought you turned to the pro-cultural relativist way of thinking against human rights.
Catch the clue bus neothe1.
people call palestinians antisemitic, and they're semites"
Everyone with half a brain cell knows that the term anti-semite has always referred to Jews. In FACT it was coined for that very purpose. I thought you might be more intelligent than to make a statement like that.
