Calling somebody out as racist is not name-calling if it's true.
I feel like the US has become this bizarre place where it's okay to be racist and sexist, but if you call people out for it you're the bad guy.

And as I said elsewhere, many of Trumps votes are coming from people that voted for Obama last time. Do you really think they are racist?
The first and second hit are from you, humorously enough.
> (, racist) working class folks
You didn't say Trump was, you tried to smear the whole working class or at least the ones that voted for Trump.
I don't like Trump, I just personally refuse to think that 50% of Americans are stupid racists.
Racism has been shamed for many decades, and Trump made it 'in' again.
Racism was a major issue in this election. The SNL's 'black jeopardy' skit was surprisingly observant in this respect [1]. I didn't expect people on HN to just dismiss it like that. Or completely ignoring an argument about how people cutting their nose to spite their face, because it included the word 'racist'.
It's kind of ironic, like I tickled somebody's PC funny bone, when Trump's campagin was all about the freedom to say whatever you want.
The people your criticizing want job security, not lynchings.
