From an outstanding article first published in The Salisbury Review (so much of this could apply to the U.S. as well):
By exploiting the enormous tolerance traditional in this country [England], the race lobby has so managed to induce and maintain feelings of guilt in the well disposed majority, that decent people are not only afraid of voicing certain thoughts, they are uncertain even of their right to think those thoughts. They are intimidated not only by their fear of giving offence by voicing their own reasonable concerns about the inner cities, but by the necessity of conducting the debate in a language which is dishonest.

The term 'racism', for instance, functions not as a word
with which to create insight, but as a slogan designed to suppress
constructive thought. It conflates prejudice and discrimination, and
thereby denies a crucial conceptual distinction. It is the icon word of
those committed to the race game. And they apply it with the same sort
of mindless zeal as the inquisitors voiced 'heretic' or Senator McCarthy
spat out 'Commie'.
The word 'black' has been perverted. Every non white is now,
officially, 'black', be he Indian, Pakistani or Vietnamese. This gross
and offensive dichotomy has an obvious purpose: the creation of an
atmosphere of anti white solidarity. To suppress and distort the
enormous variations within races which I every day observe by using
language in this way is an outrage to all decent people whatever their
skin colour.
And there are other distortions: race riots are described by the politically motivated as 'uprisings', and by a Lord of Appeal as a 'superb and healthy catalyst for the British people' and the police blamed for the behaviour of violent thugs; rather like the patient blaming the doctor because he has a cold in the head.
