RE: The Word "Racism" Doesn't Mean Anything Anymore
Racism is a useless word. We are all racists.
I am racist towards nice asses vs fat asses for example
I discriminate

Even if something describes all of us, this doesn't make it useless. Knowing how we work is useful.
But we are by no means all equally racist and don't discriminate in the same ways. That's why there is a subjective sliding scale between what is considered acceptable and what isn't. Also I'm sure you'd agree that there is a substantial difference between your example that pretty much nobody would really call racist and a white supremacist. It's not all boolen, sometimes amounts and levels matter too.
Interestingly enough, by your logic, the objection that people are using racist too much is invalid as they are all correct.
