We disagree, in the UK we have laws that prevent people from shouting hate speech. We like it that way, it works, I don't really get why everyone should be able to say anything. They plainly shouldn't.
Sorry, but while that may be true, that shouldn't apply to the situation in your OP. Every passenger had the freedom to get off, and the driver had the freedom to kick the idiot woman off too. There should have been zero laws broken. Saying what you want when you want, no matter how stupid, should be a right anyone and everyone has. If you say something stupid you have to deal with the reactions on your own.
It was absolutely childish for the government to step in.
That really is the difference. We value the right to be offended. You value the right to not be offended.It's different over here. We value freedom from things aswell.

Although, way too many people here don't seem to understand the difference. Fortunately for the rest of us, they seem to be concentrated in the Bay area.

Wow how did you get to know a white supremacist?

Which only goes to show how useless cctv can be... (yes the tram has cctv)

Then why isn't that allowed in the US. Since you americans seem to think of yourselves as the champions of free speech.
Endangering other people by pretending there's a real threat is different than being a racist bigot. Shouting racist remarks hurts no one. Again, I fully agree the woman is a moron, but she flat out should not have been arrested.
And trust me, I don't give two turtle shits about America. I just live here.
for some reason I read the title as "racist moon arrested"
You would be incorrect again. People aren't born racist, they are taught it. Gee, I wonder how they're taught it...
It's not racist. Polish is not a race.
Really . Ask the Irish if whites are racist towards other whites or the kazar jews .
He's probably talking about English, and American *ism towards the Irish. It still goes on today in England. Not so much in America I don't think. We like the Irish now. I do anyway.

...incorrect about what?
Do you mean the part where I said shouting racist remarks hurts no one? What, you think racism would disappear if people simply weren't allowed to be racist in public? Then it would just be worse at home and the kids would be just as bad. No change.
