My point isn't that it's redundant, but that's it's an unproductive thing to say. If you want to insult someone, you might as well come out and use some curse words. Don't hide behind scientific language.

Banned as an accusation against someone you're arguing against as ad hominem well poisoning? Yes. Otherwise, no.

I was listening to a commentator a few days ago mention how frequently discussions of identity politics are diverted from practical economic issues associated with identity to the virtue of the participants in the conversation.

Person A: I'm facing discrimination in my industry.
Person B: I don't see color. Racists are bad.
Person A: Too bad I don't work for you. How can I deal with what is happening?
Person B: There's going to be more of this with Trump. I hate Trump.

I related to this dynamic a lot.
edit: it was an interview of Asad Haider (editor of viewpointmag.com) on the last Behind The News (Doug Henwood's show) episode.
