No I don't. In that case in the doctors surgery, the man was being physically threatening directly to the young woman. That is vastly different from someone voicing an opinion on immigration etc.,

If you've worked since you were 16 allowing airing your views to take priority over the interests of your employer, then there's only one entitled li'l snowflake here and it isn't me

First of all you didn't answer my question. Do you work? or do you live off the fruits of someone else's labour?
Secondly I have always been loyal to my employers, which is why in over 50 years of working life I have never been sacked. This doesn't mean I wouldn't voice my opinion, especially if the conversation I had was not dierected at the person/persons 'offended' by my remarks.
I am not, nor ever will be considered a 'snowflake' since I am too politically incorrect to fulfill that role.

If you've read the thread then you'd know that, yes, I do work. I have others working under me whilst also working for a large company. If those under me were affecting business by airing their crap in earshot of those who we make money from, I would be pulling them up on it. If I did it and was reported, the company would pull me up on it. Because the company's interest is its business and not people's "right to be a bit racist".

Now... Your slant on it seems to be "but *I* have the right to express *my* opinion wherever and whenever *I* want to! Wah wah wah!"

Sounds pretty snowflakey to me

Being a 'snowflake' means that you consider only your opinions are valid. I don't consider only my opinions matter, but having an opinion IS important, as is others opinions.
By the way, saying 'wah,wah,wah' to someone is a little childish to say the least.

You believe that not only your right to have an opinion, but your right to share that opinion whenever and wherever you want, is more important than the wishes of the company you represent or any other professional consideration. You can't accept that when you are representing something other than yourself (which you are, always, when you are working... unless you are self employed) then actually your personal opinions take a back seat. Share your opinions on something related to the job or business? By all means, that should be encouraged. Share your personal opinions because *you* feel that *your* right to do so is all-important? No. Snowflakey.

Tbh Jenny, theres nothing snowflakier than being offended at someone elses offence. Sounds like you have a lot in common with said snowflakes.
