Let me say it differently - Often names are used when they should not be used. Names may be said in anger when emotions run high or when hurt is strong. If a person calls another person a bad name, it is bad behavior and not acceptable. Racism is something much broader. Racism is a belief in the inferiority of a large group of people due to a genetic characteristic. Hatred of select individuals is bad, racism is different and worse. It is my view that charges of racism are thrown around too often when the charge is not appropriate. Same goes for use of the term Nazi. Used too often when it is not appropriate.
