An intellectually dishonest word used by the left to signify that their arguments on identity politics, race, gender, sexuality etc. are so sophisticated, meaningful and profound that they're beyond the realms of everyday comprehension and logic. Thus by extension, those arguments are also beyond critique, and anyone who does not recognize them as such is to be branded a bigot, a racist or a xenophobe.
"To begin with, racism is only perpetuated by White people and cannot be pigeon-holed into a neat box. It is far more complex and nuanced than just hate against a person because of the colour of their skin, so I have broken it down into three parts for ease of understanding. Each part jointly and severally underpins institutional racism. This means each part is equally responsible for racism perpetrated by White people, which has a deeply nuanced and layered history."
