Can you explain what you're saying here a little further? You have free speech, but your comment was completely racist and offending so I called you on it. What's the issue; You want to be able to say racist things and have no one get offended?
I think you're confusing free speech with acceptable societal boundries. It's what we were learn when we're kids; You don't say everything you're thinking. If I walk past a person with a weird jacket, I think to myself "haha, what a stupid looking jacket!!", but societal boundries keep me from saying that out loud, because it's offending and rude.
Just like saying "Tell them to drive down the right side of the road" to an entire group of people, in this case east Indians, is something that you should say on the inside if it's you're true feelings, because saying it outloud (or in this case typing on a public forum) is just downright rude and offending. Especially since I know at least 3 east Indians read this board.
