Racism is a crime in any reasonable society. If anything, being yelled at on Twitter is too little punishment.
- prepend 5y agoI’m not aware of any society where racism is a crime. In the US discrimination due to racism is a crime. Those are different things.
- tambourine_man 5y agoHow’s that any different? The US is very far from reasonable in many respects, which is why white supremacists, antivaxxers, etc, flourish. You should get familiar other societies, particularly in the European Union or South Africa. In Brazil, you’ll go to jail for making racist claims. As you should. How could that be polemic in the 21st century?
- Georgelemental 5y agoThe US is much more stable and prosperous than Brazil or South Africa.
- katamarimambo 5y agoIrrelevant. In regards to dealing with racism, Brazil is better than USA.
- Ekaros 5y agoI could accept that if every race was treated equally and racism against any race would lead to same consequences.
- tambourine_man 5y agoIf every race was treated equally there would be no racism. I think that’s pretty self evident. Also, no one is asking you to accept it, it’s the law in many countries.
