Some in of the nonsense that people come up with to declare something as racist- is as depressing as it is baffling. I'm not saying any recently adapted usage hasn't been with racist intent- but that the initial intent of some things never come close to racism. At what point do we stop surrendering everyday non-racist aspects to the fear of being labeled/branded as racist?

The outside world scares me sometimes- the freedom to be myself is now limited to the walls of my residence.
