So an appeal to democracy to protect the rights of a bigot are not there. Freedom of speech is not freedom of responsibility.
So if science deem, say, whites to be sub-par compared to blacks when it comes to running... The whites should have an equal opportunity to get running medals?


As to the bolded part... Can one be racist if one can show that black people in fact seem to run faster compared to whites? I don't see the "responsibility" problem there?

Is it OK to be racist, as long as you point to scientific data?

For me, personally, it would be the utmost logical brain leap to think the human races have developed identically, given evolution and the different conditions we have had.

Just like we changed colour of skin, logic dictates that our brains might not exactly have gone in the identical same direction, no?
