Is there ever a situation in which racism is acceptable?
I don't think that is what he is saying. He is referring to calling someone racist when there is no racism, but it helps win an argument.
"I think we need to seal up our borders. Too many illegal immigrants come here, use our system, and leave."
"Racist. You hate Mexicans, you fucking racist!"
No. I'm not racist, and I don't hate Mexicans. I don't like
illegal immigrants, although
legal immigrants are just fine...
EDIT:
I hate "workflow" and "utilize."
Saying "analyze the workflow" or any other mention of workflow makes you look like you have no clue what you're talking about.
"You should utilize your e-mail." Substituting "utilize" for "use" in a sentence doesn't make you sound smart. It makes you sound stupid. They really have different meanings and aren't always interchangeable. For example, I may get the full utility out of my e-mail (by using appointments, calendars, tasks, etc.) but I may not use it often.
