....when is it simply a cry for attention?
...or some sort of 'me-too'ism?
...or 'I'm a victim/hero'ism?
1. The term 'racist' is both ubiquitous and harmful to the one so labeled, that a firm definition should be applied.
Here it is: it isn't 'racism' unless there is some documented physical or monetary harm done.
Being offended is not racism, as the ability...and desire...to claim offense is without end. It has become an attention-getting device.

The title of the thread references the use of the term 'racism' as though it is damaging in the truest sense, rather than just hurt feelings.
It is a pale copy of something that was once truly harmful.
As the OP states:
... it isn't 'racism' unless there is some documented physical or monetary harm done.
Being offended is not racism, as the ability...and desire...to claim offense is without end. It has become an attention-getting device.
The term 'racism' as used is merely a way to silence opposing voices, the hallmark of Liberalism.
Is this so by your declaration alone?
Let's cut to the chase:
Are you ready to penalize anyone for what they think?
