Calling someone names is much less productive than explaining why they're wrong, because all it does is generate animosity, instead of a productive conversation. The reason so many jump to name-calling is because they don't want to engage in a productive conversation with "the other," less they risk being labelled as "the other".

It seems ironic that one arguing against racism would be labelled a "racist", however, according to the left: merely associating with racists is enough to be one. Furthermore, leftists seek to avoid any situation which may result in failure; in order to avoid failure: they refuse to even try in the first place.

Animosity is often a result of productive conversations, because making people confront truths they don't want to confront makes people mad.
