I'm always wary when people call someone racist/fascist. I'd like to see some definitive proof otherwise you're just labeling him without providing anything to backup your claims. Isn't that essentially just hearsay and libel?

Just to clear any ambiguity, I don't accept the modern definition where you can call someone racist because you don't like their writings in sensitive topic. I'd like to see some hard evidence where said person has actively discriminated against someone with different racial background.

Racism is by definition a belief. Someone is racist if they believe in such a belief. Actions are actually irrelevant to this definition.

Similarly a fascist is someone that believes in the fascism ideology. That's just how these words work.

People have expanded the definitions to mean all sorts of bullshit to fit their agenda. You're expecting us to take your definitions at face value, that's laughable.
