I don’t see the problem here. Do we want bigots to feel free to spew their hatred unopposed?

I think you are misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm not a racist. Far from it. I don't think race should come into anything. However it seems we're trying to make identity and race part of everything. That someone's opinion should count more or less because of their identity. This isn't a good idea.

That’s nice. Maybe in 500 years we can forget about race. Right now there are lots of people who are actively, intentionally racist, and as long as they are around, making race taboo just means you give cover to such people.

There's a reason fascists keep showing up in the comments. Not that the moderation is likely to do anything about it.

I think the question is whether these people are actually bigots.
