You mischaracterize choosing not to use ugly stereotypes and racial insults
etc. as an "industry", when it is instead an important facet of basic common
human decency. There is no good reason for using this hurtful language that is
intended to convey negative intent, disparagement, or insult -- in almost every
context it is employed -- when these words address entire classes and groups of
people. There are perfectly adequate words for conveying insult that do not
also dredge up negative/hurtful stereotypes applied to
racial/ethnic/religious/sexual groups.
Why resort to this type of language? If you really do need to insult someone
-- there are plenty of quite colorful terms -- in every language on Earth --
that do an excellent job of it, without also hurling insult and hurt at entire
groups of people. You are mischaracterizing, what amounts to basic human
decency and a common sense respect for the inner experience of others and a
basic adhering to the Golden Rule... calling this an "industry" -- as if it was
some kind of semantic assembly line with gate keepers, word police etc. all
organized into some PC enforcement industry that you imagine exists, to my ears
betrays an agenda.... an ulterior motive that is driving your current rant.

Don´t make me laugh.
I don´t say that racism isn't a bad thing. It is. I say that the industry of
antiracism enforcement is an evil thing. Like is evil to enforce public
plumbing. Since I bet you are not stupid understanding ordinary arguments. I
have to think that you are misleading.
I would not incur in a cost if this where a closed list, or if I had an
anonymous name or if antiracism were not I ln fashion . But this is not the
case, and there are plenty asparagus inspectors looking for his own petty Jihad
against something looking for people like me to attack, to have is minute of
holy glory (And maybe a subsidy for his anti-something business)
I understand professional asparagus inspectors that borrow money and power for
their bogus antiracist actions and ideological crap, but... people like you
supposedly intelligent, that gain nothing with these lies.... I can do nothing
but laugh at you. Sorry.
