- andrewla 6y agoThey _were_ textbook examples. But now, because of this decision, they are protected! [1] [1] Okay, not really, because judges are not automata and everyone will recognize that this decision should not be taken as a precedent in terms of its arguments. Chances are everyone will just take the precautionary approach and say that any offensive speech, even directed by an in-group member at another in-group member (e.g. one Jewish person saying to another something that would be considered offensive were a non-Jew to say it, or take your other religion/ethnicity as you like it) is ground for termination in order to avoid having to make the distinction.
