Agreed that there's risk in overuse which can lead to numbness for the real thing.
In some ways, I'd argue we should then be even more vigilant because white supremacist rhetoric / apologist sentiment and actions are having an easier time to hide behind the veils of fuzziness.
One comment though: you do not have to be white to be a white supremacist. White supremacy is the belief that white people are superior to people of other races, and should thus dominate them.
We see this pattern in other arenas too, e.g. gays and homophobia or women and gender bias.
