What I mean, is that when someone sees racism in other groups for everything, and that when inane things become racist and movement for the SJW to rise up against, then I think that it both unhealthy, and a form of racism.
This is not to be confused with being against actual racism, but imposing it, where there is not justification on a routine basis.
Except that thoughts don't have a race. It follows that disliking someone for what they think is not inherently racist.
I think the word you're looking for is "oversensitive." Racism has a specific meaning which has nothing to do with what the person being disliked is thinking, but rather, what race or ethnicity he or she belongs to. Seeing racism where it doesn't exist is not racist. Even the act of speaking out against perceived racism is not racist, in the same sense that speaking out against perceived conservatism is not conservative.
Perhaps you are correct, and simply "oversensitive" would be a better word (I would note, that I said a "form of racism" and to clarify I mean that it could be, but may not necessarily be). I do think that one way that racism can show up, is by projecting racism on to others or almost automatically thinking that someone is racist, because of their ethnicity. Basically the same types of issues are seen in a different light. But I'm by no means suggesting that this is always the case.
