This position is highly controversial on the left. That is, many will be worked into a froth at mere suggestion that we shouldn't lightly apply Racist label to things that merely proximal to racism. Having discussion on race is a highly taboo behavior and orthodoxy of "race is a social construct" is zealously protected.

This is just one of the areas of 'eating itself', where anything but public displays of right-thinking would get someone shamed and expelled from the Left ranks. Personally, I have been "eaten" many times at this point, where I am actively looking at saner (e.g. libertarians) groups of people to align on specific priorities or values (e.g. freedom of speech).

So personally, I don't even know if I consider myself left anymore.
