"誰かを反米と呼ぶこと、実際に反米であることは、人種差別的であるだけでなく、想像力の欠如でもあります。"

Simplified Meaning:
Calling someone anti-American, or saying you are against America, doesn't just show prejudice; it shows a lack of creativity and understanding. Think of it this way: America's strength comes from its mix of different cultures and ideas. Saying someone is anti-American because they have different views or come from another place ignores this diversity. For example, if someone criticizes the government, it doesn't mean they hate America. It might mean they care and want to see improvements. By labeling them as anti-American, we miss out on hearing valuable perspectives. Embracing different viewpoints makes the country stronger, not weaker.
