That would be OK. That is ACTING on racism in a hateful way. I am not a racist myself (although a classist, as I already mentioned, and perhaps an edunazi, and an intelligensia-ist) but I fully support the right of anyone to be a racist- just not to ACT on that belief in certain ways. I personally think racism is stupid- to focus on color seems silly to me. One should concentrate on the attributes that disturb one- and screen out people on that bases- or better yet, screen FOR people one likes. That seems reasonable to me. But then religious people hate each other for stupid reasons too, and that seems to me to be an equally important right. In a free country it is important to have the right to hate just as it is important to have the right to love, or the right to feel ambivalent, or WHATEVER.
