Normie liberal boomerism is running on fumes. The only reason the charge of "racism" has such purchase is that it used to bring to mind segregated lunch counters and racial slurs.

As with almost everything else on the left, they dishonestly co-opted the term, leveraging "systemic racism" (meaning a disparity in outcomes, something which has always and will always exist), to evoke the same level of disgust amongst the clueless as a redneck with a pillowcase on his head howling "nig**r". I don't think this is so much of an intellectual shift as it is a loss of the disgust that these things used to evoke due to the constant gaslighting.

With the exception of the credulous, these charges no longer stick. This dynamic is, fundamentally, why the left is falling apart (not just along this axis, but many others). You can only lie to people, even if they are morons, so many times before they catch on, especially if reality is repeatedly punching them in the face, as it has a tendency to do.

It's high time to do away with all forms of preferential treatment for certain identities. Equal treatment under the law now!
