Yes except those accusations have a meaning ... if you make a statement that can be described as racist then that is a direct response, it has meaning.

If I were to be asked what is a racist sentence I could give you one... I could not give you a 'left' sentence... as it makes no sense whatsoever...look,

'I think there should be better provisions for schools!'

See, that's an example of left but there is no issue with that statement is there?
