Jacqueline, no synonyms for racist or sexist come readily to my mind, and I don’t advocate use of euphemisms in place of plain speech. However, I don’t agree that simply stigmatizing a statement of opinion or fact as racist or sexist is a satisfactory substitute for rational rebuttal. To put it another way, dismissive labelling is not rational rebuttal, which requires one to point out perceived errors of fact or logic.
