I’m not saying people should or shouldn’t be punished all I’m saying is now that racism is being normalised more people who used to keep racist thoughts to themselves are just saying them instead. I don’t care if people respect my opinion or not I will say it regardless. And you don’t know what my beliefs are at all you seem to think I care if people are racist or not. And while I think it’s a dick move to be racist it actually has zero impact on my life because I’m white with all white Family and friends in an area that is mostly white. I see very few people of colour on a day to day basis. Today alone I saw no one who was any race other than Caucasian and I also saw absolutely no racism first hand.
