Of course it's one's "right" to be racist in the USA. Fully agree. The question was, do you think we should tolerate racism in the US?

Socially tolerating racism is a sure way to propogate it, IMO, as it's learned behaviour.

If one is with someone, and they say, "Hey, look at that ...... " (fill in any obviously hateful racial expletive) one has a choice on how to react.

I agree that political correctness can get out of hand here.
