No, I'm personally not a fan of the term because I generally don't like reducing people to caricatures - but IMO equating it to a slur is just... wrong. It's ignorant of what actually has been happening to the oppressed people in this country since... forever? And is trying to equate someone, who is generally in a position of power (a middle class white woman) to minority groups who have experienced racism since this country's founding.

Food for thought: In the (rough) words of John Mulaney, if you equate something to another word, but you won't even say the other word, then one is clearly worse than the other.
