All of this can ultimately be appied to the word "racist" itself.
By labeling me a "racist" (and I'm not saying anyone in particular did, it's just an example) you are also lumping me into a group to which I do not belong. I know I'm not a racist. I could take extreme offense to someone labeling me one. But I won't, because I know it stems from ignorance.
Do I have great love for every person on the planet? No. I do not. Does this make me a racist? Well, if that's your definition, then I guess it does. But remember...
Ignorance is a curable disease.
