What I object to is labeling everyone who misspeaks a "racist." Calling someone a racist is a serious charge, but the left throws it around so flippantly.

That term is an assertion of white privilege. Essentially she told him to get back in place. Coming from a white woman of privilege this language is unacceptable and she should know better.
