And an uptick in hate crimes doesn't matter? Becasue you "doubt" "most of the people" talking about it have experienced it ALSO? You think EVERYONE should be subjected to it becasue you think some of them haven't suffered enough? Seriously?

You want things to get worse before people are allowed to speak up? You think people who speak up are the problem? Just stop.

I didn't imply anything of the kind. paulkienitz Jun 2017 #35
