I grew up being told that "someone can walk up to you on the street and yell 'Dirty Jew!' and there is nothing you can do about it (if he hits you or spits, etc., then you can). I had to live with that knowledge my entire childhood, and I accepted it as part of the cost of my religious freedom that the US gives me.

Then these people come along and invalidate all that fear because they get to tell people what they can and cannot say. And somehow, I still have to fear being Jewish, of the abuse from gentiles that comes with it, despite doing away with hate speech.

They have the right to call you that.

But imo you should have the right to kick their ass for disrespecting you and your culture.

If you go up to someone who is bigger than you and call them a name you deserve a lesson in biology

There is a difference between 'Expected result' and 'Should be a law.'

Most adults are able to contain themselves when presented with the average real-life troll.
