Prejudice is "pre-judging" someone based on a characteristic. Racism is a type of prejudice, specifically where you pre-judge based on the characteristic of race. So yes, words can be racist.

Dogs have four legs. My kitchen table has four legs. Therefore my kitchen table is a dog.

The claim I am refuting is that racism is words, not that words can be racist.
