I've wondered at the rise in the use of the term "White Nationalist" in recent months. 

Intended or not, this substitution for racist, fascist, etc. implicitly softens the condemnation such organized groups deserve and makes adherents almost an accepted part of civil society.

While no fan of excessive political correctness, I do believe that the way we describe things does over time affect the way we accept or reject them.  In the post-WW II world, we have rightly consigned fascist organizations and their ilk beyond inclusion in civil society.  

Let's not substitute euphemisms when referring to racist, fascist organizations.
