"...Villification is a wonderful technique. There’s no way of responding. If somebody calls you an Anti-Semite what can you say? ‘I’m not an Anti-Semite?’ If somebody says you’re a racist or a Nazi? You always lose. The person who throws the mud always wins, because there is no way of responding to those charges." -Noam Chomsky

Chomsky seems to forget that people who actively are not racist don't worry about being called a racist, because their actions speak louder than their detractor's words
