People are calling for a frank discussion of the facts. Intelligent people should be allowed to make critically minded judgements on what is the best way forwards for their countries. So much has been banned from the potential discussion by this attitude.
Trying to contain the debate could be counter productive in the long run. If we shield people from moral inspection because of their minority status then that can serve to make their behaviour worse and actually validate 'hateful' positions.
Think about spoilt rich children. Obnoxious, right? Well they're presumably not genetically so. It is because they have been spoilt. Well we are in danger of morally spoiling certain protected groups by not fairly assessing their behaviour and allowing them to blame all negatives in their lives on others (the straight white male) After all what is civilisation except a collective effort to get the best out of all particpants?
