The thing that got me in your posting is that you said "having views about different races is not racism, they are just personal views." Then what do u think is racism? Let me tell you... if you discriminate based on a person's race (race is a term which is very controversial because there is no biological basis to differentiate people in certain catagories of races) that is racism. if a person has different views about different races then he is bound to discriminate.. hence the term racism. I dont know whats your basis to say that it should not be considered racism! And about freedom of speech as we are in USA. Hello!! Why dont you go to a public place and give them your opinion about different races. Tell them that blacks are this and huspanics are that. Sooner or later you will have someone file a complaint based on racism which is not allowed in USA either. Even when you are employed at some place there is a rule that reads "There will be no discrimination based on your race, religion and ethnicity." This is the 21st century and instead of unity you are trying to support diversity. Thats sad. No wonder we still face with all the hatred amongst people of different races. (P.S: Did you know that of you took a sociology class for inequality, our nation is the most racist nation of all? Other people show racism based on skin color or social status, but we (nepalis) take it one step further and discriminate by caste too. How sad can it get??)
