It carries with it implicit assumptions about what counts as racism, what's acceptable and unacceptable for white, african american, asian, and other identity groups, and what sorts of behaviours people should be morally concerned about. All of which would be rejected by anyone who doesn't subscribe to identitarian views like the ones you subscribe to. That is why people ascribe the ideology to you - you routinely talk the talk. Fine, you believe what you believe, just don't act so shocked when people make that connection.
That’s an awful lot of time you’ve attempted to spend in my head. Be prepared to be ejected onto a New Jersey turnpike.

I’m sure not what specifically ideology I adhere to, but I’m, again, literally pointing out the connections people make in these cases. The reason being, as I again, explained, was to give Ashasx reasoning so that he understood that the reason people “throw around” a term like “racism,” isn’t without evidence, it just may not be especially GOOD evidence (which in this case, I pointed to that being true).

Just... stop. You’re flailing into some argument that I’m not even sure you know the reason for entering. Yadda yadda. Tribes. Ideology. Indentarian, etc etc etc. I’ve got all your albums, I don’t need the greatest hits. I get the schtick.
