It's so overused that it sadly has become totally meaningless for something to be called racist. I think we would be better off having the word racist meaning something of substance. I think it needs to invoke imagines of hoods and burning crosses and hitler. Instead it's meaning has been expanded to the point that every tv is considered racist. The meaning has become so broad that it mostly invokes eyerolls. Even Islam will call people 'racist' for opposing a religion.
This is really why I'm starting to hate these liberal buzzwords
"Racist" "Homophobic" "Islamophobic" ... "bigot"
They're just fashionable words of absolutely no substance on their own, you can throw at someone to shut them up because nobody wants to be called them.
There's no real argument there. Instead, explain to someone how and why what they said wasn't correct or should be re-considered, that goes further than the name-calling.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
