I personally feel that the "Racism" card pendulum is swinging to the point where it exceeds actual cases of blatant/apparent racism (I have no idea how prevalent sub/semi conscious racism is). To be honest I hate that the word racism has been diluted to such a degree it has almost become useless. I really don't like it being used when "prejudiced" is really the proper term for most cases.
A variation happened to word Rape. It became sexual assault. And now when a eight year old boy kisses a classmate it can be classified by the
same term. That is really inane.
Harsh words with bite used to have a clear definition, now the waters have been muddied so people can make something appear more significant than it is. That is a shame.
