You're arguing that it's okay to call a group a term used almost exclusively by their political enemies who want them completely destroyed, I think it's pretty obvious that you're a racist.

I don't think I called you racist to start with, but my point was that just because something is called by X name in one context by one group of people and Y in another context by another group does not mean both names are equally valid. When it comes to political entities, typically the belief is that the group itself decides on its own name (like Kiev officially becoming Kyiv in English, to take a recent example). The CPC says that its name is the CPC. Western journos who want their readership to hate the Party call it the CCP. These are not equally valid bases for what to call something.

I did not know that was the case. So I see your point.

I will from now on use CPC.
