It's probably for the best you used a throwaway account to say something so profoundly ignorant. The consequences of which the OP spoke are social consequences, they're not legal consequences. In the United States you can say whatever you want without fear of legal reprisal, however the social consequences can be dire. That is to say, I retain the freedom to think you're an asshole and not associate with you in response to something you said. That's my right.
