Nobody owns a word. If we call leftists out for their racism, it forces them to confront their hypocrisy.

I disagree. Leftists never confront their hypocrisy; attacking them using their own framing only helps reinforce their narrative that "racism" is the greatest evil that exists. At best, you get small concessions while the general culture shifts leftward.

Conservatives have been trying this for years - has it worked? Or does the left simply get more crazy over time? I think anyone who would have been convinced by the argument from hypocrisy has already jumped ship. Everyone left are bleeding-heart liberals who need to be persuaded a different way.
