"So when you see statements being attacked as x-ist or y-ic (substitute your current values of x and y), whether in 1630 or 2030, that's a sure sign that something is wrong." -- is a litmus test that fails. It's okay for these kinds of terms to trigger you to double-check something, but it's not the case that, for example, every use of "racist" is indicative of faulty thought or misapplied labels.
