revisionist racism

The practice of using historical dates and facts out of context with the intent to negatively impact public opinion about members of particular religious or minority groups. Especially relevant when the dates or historical events used occurred more than 250 years in the past.
The Renee Elmer's ad against the community center in New York doesn't make a convincing argument, it's just revisionist racism.

I don't understand why Turkey hasn't been allowed to join the EU, most of the arguments I've heard are based more in revisionist racism than fact.

Garage Days Re-Revisited is too damn rare. Ebay should have it though.

Revisionism Fallacy

Aka, the “Liberty Cabbage Fallacy”, When people forcefully change the meaning of a word or concept for political or social reasons, then pretend that new meaning is legit just because it’s popular or approved by institutions.
“Man I love Liberty Cabbage!”

“You mean Sauerkraut?”

“No it’s liberty cabbage bc German bad!”

“Thats just a revisionism fallacy, everyone’s just gonna call it sauerkraut the moment your social opinions lose grace”
