Agree. There is more to a person as a whole than one aspect of their views, and opinions can be changed. I don't think throwing around racist or bigot labels are all that useful either. It shuts down the conversation and if someone (not referring to OLB but just in general) if someone feels justified in their beliefs and views, then reducing them to a label that is meant to shame and dehumanize them will inspire a martyr reaction.
