Surely that means my opinions too?
And surely you can't say that for things that are directly abusive
("ah he just punched me in the face but it's just his way of expressing himself")
...so why does it only apply when racism is slightly more subtle?
I don't know why it's so unbearable for me to say that i disapprove of something.
Nobody thinks racism is a good thing do they? So surely the best way to avoid it is for people to say "I do not like this." and for people to rethink it.
And of course not everyone is going to agree, otherwise there wouldn't be problems in the first place.
