This is how law based states work, do you love it or not. I think appropriate analogy is anti-segragation laws in US.

- mpyne 13y agoSegregation is not, strict speaking, always illegal in the U.S. though. Nor is taking action to segregate people normally considered "speech".
- menato 13y agoI meant you could be sued for public racial statements (corresp. gay propaganda). But you could talk about admissibility of such a statements.
- noarchy 13y agoIn Canada, where I live, your comparison would be correct (though not in the US). I happen to disagree with the way Canadian law works in this regard, too.
- mpyne 13y agoThat's just it. Being a racist/bigot and saying racist/bigoted things is not illegal in the U.S. Witness the Ku Klux Klan, or the Westboro Baptist Church. Inciting violence against specific groups is illegal, but inciting violence in general is illegal already anyways.
