I'm saying "race card" describes a PERSON exhibiting a certain set of behaviors. Guess what? We use labels in this world to describe people according to specific behavior every day - some of those labels describe good behavior (benevolent, kind, honest) some describe bad behavior (thief, racemonger, murderer).
How does saying something that is an accurate portrayal of one's actions "denigrate and dehumanize" them? If they did it, they did it - that's not denigration, that's REALITY (as for dehumanizing, I've never seen a non-human play a race card.)
Just because you call something a "racial slur" doesn't make it one - that's the kind of thinking that makes the "race card" a problem in the first place.
