The critique in the video is only applicable to intersectional feminism, but you don't need to support anything else aside from gender equality to be considered a feminist. My girlfriend is a feminist and she is a bit racist, specially against black and Chinese people - That doesn't stop her from being a feminist and supporting women's rights. It is possible to be a feminist and have almost any political orientation or ideology, and to be pro or against almost any social, political, cultural and economic issue. I'm not saying I agree with racist feminism, but etymologically it's not impossible to be both.
