Of course. It is a stupid and ignorant position to be racist. People are not the sum of their skin tone or ethnicity or genital. Most people do not think in these terms
However Progressives do think in these terms. They think of people as holding truths, values and desires specific to these groups.
Far Right groups do too. Neither is good.
The moderate Conservative, Centrist and Classical/moderate Liberal generally doesn't. Most people view people as individuals.
I think efforts to call everyone holding a different or unwelcome opinion racist cheapens the term just like those calling all sexual encounters rape, cheapens that term.
I really think that Progressive driven bullshit needs to stop. If everyone is racist then no one is. The term loses it power and meaning and the person who disagrees with or perhaps even dislikes a specific person of another race is now considered on the same footing as someone seeking out racial genocide.
