You don't have to, certainly, but it would lend credibility to your argument if you supported it with evidence.

You can play games with the definition of racism if you like, but I'm not getting sidetracked by tribalism and inherent xenophobia. I'm talking about people espousing or condoning hate (or claiming superiority) based solely on race.
