This comparison overdramatizes the situation somewhat, but I still think
that a member of a group can discuss the sources and reasons of prejudices
against their group, etc... ,  without seeing red and cavalierly applying 
labels like "...phobic" or "anti...." (At least I think I can).  
Of course, accusations of great ignorance in the matter is the second
best choice.
