The trem, or use of the word "racist" has been thrown around so much and so freely that at least for me, it means very little any more. It seems that the number one, numero uno name to throw at your opposition is "racist" thus the connotation of that term/word has lost real significance when used to defame, shame or shock-sock the person you are waanting to catch off guard in watering down their view, allegation or attack on your character.
