Every culture has “certain norms” that “are not to be crossed.” It’s precisely because Anglos have so few thag they stand out. For most non-Anglos, the concept of such speech policing isn’t even thought of as objectionable. I was discussing the Charlie Hebdo shooting with my dad, who is staunchly anti-religious but from a Muslim country. He was like “well why do you need to draw pictures of the Prophet Mohammad?” To him, it’s entirely a cost (social conflict) with no benefit.
