Who determines what is considered a race? Who decides what’s “racist”? Who decides when the “no racism” law is enforced? The best part about laws against wrongthink is that the things you’re not allowed to think or say are wrong by definition. Who defines what’s wrongthink? Well, asking that question sounds like wrongthink to me.

> Who determines what is considered a race? Who decides what’s “racist”? Who decides when the “no racism” law is enforced? The judge. Feel free to argue your case in court. No law is black and white. Judges and juries get to decide on their application every single date.

  Ah yes the judge. Who decides when I see her? Do I just sit quietly in jail until then?

    > Ah yes the judge. Who decides when I see her? Another judge decides when you see the judge that will try your case. > Do I just sit quietly in jail until then? No, you can have your attorney file an habeas corpus to either have your case tried speedily or have you be released from jail until the court date. Just because you don't know how the law works doesn't mean others haven't thought about these challenges before and solved them. Ignorance doesn't make your arguments stronger.

        Okay serious flight risk, or whatever threshold it is in Brazil.
