We are all inherently racist. It is in our nature.



joelm your point on sueing is most inaccurate. Any individual can inititae legal action within the Civil Law System for anything they like. A white man has every right to sue for damages under anti-discrimination legeslation"if a black man says to a white man "you F***** white B*sted" The same applies for the opposite situation. However like any legal complaint, going to court is one thing, recieveing damages by proving loss is another.

On the freedom of speech issue, i suggest you read Mary McAleese's speech "In the defense of freedom". (She is the President of Ireland)  In the speech she raises the issue of how far is too far, and what limits should be on the freedom of speech to maintain social cohension and harmony.
