If a large/upstanding/brown citizen were to whip my ass, THAT would be illegal.
There are people in this thread that stated that I would be getting what I deserved.(personal responsibility and all)
However, that all goes out the window when this topic comes up.
It just doesn't make sense to me (on a psychological scale, regarding posters opinion).
The only thing that explains it is White Knight Syndrome.
You are missing one big difference.
Yelling slurs, while perfectly legal, is an insulting personal attack on other people.
Getting drunk is not a personal attack or insult to another person.
You have to be pretty dense to not see any difference between those two actions, so to me the only thing that explains your thinking is sexist victim blaming.
