Well see here's the kicker. There are words you can find to put into that situation. They don't have to be good words, complicated, or even particularly useful. The most important thing is to speak out. We tend to be too tolerant and unwilling to place ourselves in the center of attention. Saw it during Covid, see it in most situations. We turn our heads and avert our eyes, subverting the expectation that good people should stand for good reasons.

I'll say it plainly: Most of us mean well and speak well. We do nothing though.

"Karen" was a nice one to at least get some of these assholes to understand.

But yeah, words are strong. Oppressive regimes actually try and avoid or even remove certain words because it allows the people to easily explain something that could hurt the regime.
