And feel free to post instances of bigotry by minorities (not racism, good grief).
I didn't specify race. You did, not me.

No, not ignored, just not played out to be some systemic issue like you are trying to make it. It would be like you claiming we need to do something about rude people, because you showed a video of a rude person. It happens, but it is not an epidemic and it certainly does not deserve legal scrutiny because no liberties are being infringed.
I used race because the example you are whining about is about race. Keep up.
As for my posting history, if you are going to make an accusation, put on your big boy pants on and step up to the plate, act like an adult and establish your premise.
Otherwise, go back to the playground.

By not ignoring it and calling it for what it is? Sweeping it under the rug and saying, "Oh well", doesn't discourage it. There are no consequences and teaches youth inappropriate behavior? When your kids do or say something wrong, do you not lecture them and correct their behavior and punish them accordingly?

You want to punish them? Ok.. so what do you do if you make it illegal? If you make it an infraction, then this comes with a fine, so.. you will punish people with a fine for such? What if I rip up your infraction, tell you to stuff it where the sun doesn't shine and refuse to pay it? What? What is that? You will arrest me right and put me in jail?
You didn't "say" jail exactly, but anyone with a brain knows the logical progression here. Punishment requires forcing the party to a situation they do not approve of. So, your "punishment" wouldn't be a punishment unless there were "consequences" (as you pointed out) for failing to comply with the behavior. If there is no "punishment" then there will be no compliance and your point is completely useless.
It takes "thinking" about your argument, not "feeling" it in order to understand this.

"Here he comes to save the day!!!"
For number 1, it can be problematic. In many cases, it is a verbal bashing and people move on.
For number 2, this is an assumption. It "can" escalate to violence, but it is a false claim that it "will" do so.
Thing is, if it does escalate, then it is now a crime.
See, funny thing about how liberty and freedom work. You can not infringe on the liberty of another. This means, you can not physically attack them. The law already protects against this.
What you want is to police words, to make simply saying something a crime. You want to infringe on the liberty of people because you have some social justice hero work to do where you are going to make the world be as you want it to be, liberty and freedom be damned!
We should be watching out for people like you as you are a danger because you arrogantly think that we should all live by your rules, in your special little world.
This is what children think, they can't deal with the reality of life, and because they are precious little snow flakes, so fragile and tender, emotional beings... they must subjugate all things that personally offend them.
Again, the problem isn't what people say, it is what people do and your desire to "do" something in an official capacity is the problem.
As I said, you can socially denounce such, get like people to agree to boycott or denounce as well. This are your tools, not laws to oppress freedom of speech because you might cry if someone says something that offends you.

You really can't be this clueless can you? You use words like premise, but I don't think you even know what it means. You tried to compare peoples objection to the PHYSICAL subjugation and attacks on people by Islam, with someone VERBALLY saying something inappropriate.
That argument is stupid, it is invalid.

Actually, you are the one whining about wanting to "punish" people for saying things that upsets you.

I am participating, I am showing everyone here how your argument is nothing more than an SJW tantrum demanding laws be put in place to "punish" people for not behaving in a manner you deem fit. Your argument is extremely arrogant and childish because it wants to subjugate the world to your view (Not a surprise you and Islam have a lot in common).
If you don't like that, I don't care.
