[quote=So Boerd]That's a discussion for another thread.You wouldn't want to live in a perfectly accepting or even tolerant society tolerant of whatever nonconformists do. There would be no laws preventing companies from not serving black people, and certainly Donald Sterling wouldn't be banned from the NBA as all he did was say dumb stuff, not do anything.

Except that racism is entirely in opposition to tolerance especially applied on a society-wide scale. Just saying. It's kind of like saying that water will somehow tolerate fire.

Then again, I wouldn't want to live in a totally tolerant society either. Extremes never tend to produce good things.
