Yes. The left always affects its hate terms aren't racial but social. So you're a racist if you speak the facts about blacks, but they're just objecting to behavior when they denounce rednecks. All leftism is basically a justification of double standards. When they do X it's good, when you do it, it's bad. You see this even in arguments over capital punishment: they don't or simply refuse to make a distinction between murder and death penalty.

'Bro' as used by the left in 2014 is aimed at a specific slice of humanity: twentysomething white males who aren't queer or leftist. White fraternity members are the most characteristic target. Bro is associated with partying and drinking and 'rape culture' and various other leftist sins. Some of the behavior the terms suggests and laments is indeed obnoxious, but that's not what actually bothers the left, since it pushes promiscuity and drinking and looseness everywhere else. What bothers the leftists who use this term is these young white men haven't been cowed. They're high spirited. They don't care about leftist ideology. They're...uppity. White-uppity. And that can't be. They must be attacked until they double-clutch like everyone else. Double-clutch is my term for second guess their natural instincts because they've internalized the leftist moral monitor, aka the neo-puritan witch-hunter
