Yes, when you are accusing a group of creating a concept to deflect criticism of that group…it helps your case if you are not lying.

The criticism of a group does not lie in the supposed origins of the word used, it is in the meaning used regardless of semantic origins which may or may not be known by the user; which you instantly label with “lying” like all those over at Breitbart do when they face a disagreement.

Do you know the orgin of every word you use and would you discount the meaning if you found it was originated by some you disagreed with?

This is getting silly.
