Regarding your last point in your longer post; you're talking semantics really, racism and general discrimination are similar enough and shitty enough that it makes no difference what you call it. Additionally you have to pretty much question the definition of race.

Not really, discrimination against an ideology comes from a different place than discrimination against an ethnic group. The root of ideological discrimination can very easily come from ignorance or lack of understanding or just vehement disagreement with that ideology, rather than simple hatred of skin color or perceived racial superiority.
Sure, it’s still shitty and intolerant behavior, but it can evolve from more reasonable roots and thus needs to be approached and understood in a different manner.
