If I make a racist joke,
- I should not be arrested for it,
- but I might get heckled/booed/receive angry tweets,
- I might be no longer invited to perform at that function/hang out with that circle of friends
- I might face professional consequences (because your company might not want to be associated with you anymore)
- and I definitely don't have the moral high ground to complain that everyone who got upset are just thin skinned/didn't 'get it'/snowflakes/SJW's/whatever.
- and if it was on accident, or I didn't personally see the joke as offensive/racist, I should be receptive to the people who did get upset, and try to understand their perspective, even if I don't ultimately agree with it.
