I hate how everything in racist. People throw that word around all the time when even the subject of a race of people come up. It's losing its meaning. Being called a racist doesn't hold water anymore.
Calling everything racist is a means of political control for leftists:
For PC advocates,labeling certain thoughts,speech and actions “politically incorrect” is an effective way to censor dissenting views or prohibit anything that they consider(1) conservative and reactionary – either politically, socially, morally or religiously; or (2) insensitive or discriminatory toward certain minorities that warrant special protection– i.e., blacks, Hispanics, feminist women, homosexuals, and non-Christians in general. This is the mentality behind the left’s obsession with “micro-aggressions” and the advocacy of fascistic indoctrination programs such as “diversity training” workshops.
The right actually cares about racism. So, leftists abuse our concern by falsely calling us racists, in the hope that we will stop telling the truth about some issue. It's a form of speech control.
They love to pull out "party switch" conspiracy theories whenever you bring this up, but there's a good way to deconstruct them.
When they bring up the party switch, just point out that Democrats were racist when that meant burning crosses and lynching people while Republicans didn't become racist until it meant mean words on Twitter.
I'd also start advocating for the Democratic party to change names. It's legitimately a good idea if they actually care about the evils in their history and yet it would be an expensive distraction for them getting rid of all their name recognition and such, but most people probably don't realize this.
Just try to get them to pin a date on the bullshit party switch and that blows their whole false narrative right out of the water. They can't come up with a date when this claimed switch occurred because it never happened.
The Democrats founded the KKK and filibustered the Civil Rights Act, in addition to splitting off from the Democrat-Republican party to support slavery. They deny this history via the magic of the "party switch" in which the Republicans magically became the real racists.
My deconstruction of that is to point out that "racism" meant different things, i.e. they were cool with racism when it meant burning crosses and murdering people, but only changed their minds when mean words on Twitter and similar things became "racist".
Other examples of (neo) "racism" include math, milk, the OK sign, etc. All of which you can find articles on from the MSM.
There's a claim out there that the parties switched ideologies at some unspecified date. The fairy tale says that on some magical date all Repubs became Dems and all Dems became Repubs, all at the same time for some unspecified "reasons." It's ridiculous.
Lefties have raped the English language by subversion, bastardization, and using it improperly while their dunning-kruger symptoms tell the voices in their heads they are geniuses at the use of duplicitous meaning and euphemisms. Control the language and you control the argument. Unfortunately we have allowed this to happen by restating the argument in their terms i.e. "undocumented migrant" instead of saying illegal alien; I'll bet you can list 10 off the top of your head without trying. There are nearly countless other terms that aren't deemed PC(lefty-socialist approved) or the meaning has been twisted - in the left's eyes -- to not sound or be portrayed as offensive. Where again does it state in the US Constitution the right to not be offended?
Rise up and take back the lexicon, purge the dictionary, thesaurus, and common speech of leftist-commie speak. Many years ago, Rush made the statement, "words mean things", when we let others control our speech and diction, that is simply the start to our ruination. When your words are injurious to delicate sensitivities of the left, keep at it, do not let them press upon you the limitations of their thoughts. Don't use the terms the left has coined, don't state facts using their terms, do not do anything on their terms, put the left on the defense.
Eventually when one kid wedging another kid so hard the waist band tore off his tightie-whities was labeled the same as not inviting 4 of your class mates to your birthday party at your home, the word lost its meaning.

I don't understand your meaning about the party switch myth. They were calling Rs racists before Twitter. Can you expand on that?
PragerU has a good video on the myth of the party switch on youtube

Just point out MLK was a republican (and his family still appears at Trump rallies).
Then call them racists.
Be sure to stand clear because the instructions for fireworks still applies before their heads blow off their necks :
This. Bigly.

Don't tread on me...
Kind of like "bully" about 10 years ago.
Everything was about who bullied who.
Eventually when one kid wedging another kid so hard the waist band tore off his tightie-whities was labeled the same as not inviting 4 of your class mates to your birthday party at your home, the word lost its meaning.
When everyone is
superracist, no one is.
