“The modern definition of ‘racist’ is someone who is winning an argument with a liberal”

“Racist: Anyone/Someone who wins an argument against a liberal” (or “Racist: An individual who wins an argument against a liberal”) is a jocular definition that has been printed on many images
           
“‘The modern definition of ‘racist’ is ‘someone who is winning an argument with a liberal’—Peter Brimelow, National Review (2/1/93)” was posted on the newsgroup alt.quotations on January 22, 1993. British-born American columnist, writer, and magazine editor Peter Brimelow used the expression many times.

Wikipedia: Peter Brimelow
Peter Brimelow (born 13 October 1947) is a British-born American columnist, writer, and magazine editor. He is the founder of the website VDARE, an anti-immigration site associated with white supremacy, white nationalism, and the alt-right. He believes that “whites built American culture” and that “it is at risk from non-whites who would seek to change it”.
 
Brimelow was previously a writer and editor at National Review, and columnist for Dow Jones’ MarketWatch. Brimelow founded the Center for American Unity in 1999 and served as its first president. He describes himself as a paleoconservative.

Newspapers.com
30 April 1995, Atlanta (GA) Journal-Constitution, “Immigration: Time for a Change?” by Peter Brimelow, pg. G2, col. 4:
Because the term “racist” is now so debased, I usually shrug off such smears by pointing to its new definition: anyone who is winning an argument with a liberal. Or, too often, a libertarian. And, on the immigration issue, even some confused conservatives.
 
30 April 1995, Daily News (Los Angeles, CA), “Policing Immigration’s Borders” by Rich Martin, pg, L18:
He (Peter Brimelow—ed.) has a ready-made rejoinder for those who would call him racist. A racist, he said, is “anyone who is winning an argument with a liberal.” Point well taken: Racism is often charged when someone has a politically incorrect opinion about an issue involving race or ethnicity.
     
17 November 1995, USA Today (McLean, VA), “Letters,” pg. 14A:
I think Carter’s problem with the increasingly conservative American populace is better reflected by the popular joke making the rounds: “What do you call someone winning an argument against a liberal? A bigot.”

13 November 1996, The Financial Post (Toronto, ON), “All Things Considered” by Michael Coren, pg. 15, col. 2:
We all know the definition of a racist, a sexist or a fascist—someone who is winning an argument against a liberal.

30 April 1997, The Financial Post (Toronto, ON), “All Things Considered” by Michael Coren, pg. 17, col. 3:
It used to be that the definition of a racist was someone who was winning an argument with a liberal. Time to change it.

Liberals keep unfairly tarring conservatives with the label “racist.”
(...)
As the radio host Chris Plante puts it: “The definition of a racist today is anyone who is winning an argument with a liberal.”
