If someone wants to say they feel that the white/black/polish/russian race is superior, that is their right. If they want to use racial slurs, it is free speech. If they state they want people to hurt others, it is not.

What if by saying all those things that they are free to say, and by using racial slurs without restriction, they foster a sense of fear amongst the group in question? What if the effect of that acceptance of racism is to foster further racism, and lead to a culture in which an ethnic minority lives in fear of the white majority? At what point does their right not to feel intimidated outweigh the right of a racist group to propogate hatred?
How racist is America? Serious question. I'm sure it's come up before but I'd really be interested to know.
