Why aren't you openly allowed to be racist or sexist?
Isn't this freedom of speech. Why are we oppressing free speech?

You're allowed to, but everyone who is a *****y human being will give you hate for having such a backwards way of thinking.
I don't think you are though, look at Twitter. People are getting arrested for abusing people online. Surely this violates freedom of speech.
No one should take anything anyone says on the internet seriously, yet they go to the police for the smallest of issues.

Twitter has it's own T&C's, they as a company don't want racists posting on their site, and I think they're completely justified to remove these people from their platform.
You're free to go out in public and spout your hate, but just remember that you can't hide behind a monitor if you do that.

There are laws strictly against hate speech.
The real question is why you want to be sexist, racist, etc. Yes, you can have your opinions, but your actions have consequences
You are allowed to be racist and sexist. But, you have to realise that hate speech has consequences.

Freedom of speech doesn't exist in this country. We have freedom of expression which has limits that, if breached, are prosecutable.
You can be racist or sexist, but it is frown upon as the historical context of slavery and colonisation is still recent history at many parts of the globe.
you can say whatever you want but if what you say actively limits other people's freedoms, then that's wrong.
Because das rood man.

You are allowed to. It's more about being a ****ing decent person.

Yes we have freedom of speech,but there are lines set. If you cross them unlucky
