i'm confused as to how i'm trying to control peoples' thoughts

It wasn’t considered a crime then and was a common belief. You can’t apply the rules of today to people of the past. It is just vindictive and controlling rubbish with the thought police doing their worst.

racism isn't even considered a crime today

and saying that racism wasn't a thing during churchill's time is incorrect

[montblanc]

yes, racism was more of a common belief back then than it is now but Mit wasn't a non-entity like some are you are trying to make out

race and racism were created decades before churchill's time and many non-black people during that time were not racists

I believe it is considered a hate crime.

Depends what you mean by a thing - it was not in the way it is now because the majority of people thought that way. Also over-controlling PC is considered a thing by many today so do you accept it as wrong?

racism ITSELF isn't considered a crime

and it doesn't depend on anything. racism was alive during WWII and many people acknowledged that. like i stated before, racism has been a 'thing' since the 1600s

and don't imply that 'over-controlling PC' is the same as racism

It is as it is trying to force your opinions onto others. It is over-bearing and dictorial and has no place in modern society. And as to what is considered racism is often down to someone’s perception rather than cold hard facts.
