I agree with you 100% on this one, Dianavan. I think that "racism", these days, is a word that is being used far too often by far too many people and not usually for any good reason. And I think the same about the word "anti-semitism".

Call prejudice what it is: prejudice. Don't stigmatize other people by calling them by a specially nasty word that paints them or their behaviour as utterly evil and beyond the pale. It doesn't help establish a dialogue, it just leads to a lot of screaming and finger-pointing.
