    That’s why there must be legal protection of offensive speech and protection for expressing offensive opinions.

          Unfortunately, I think the parent commenter meant protection from something closer to losing your job for saying racist bullshit to your coworkers

            Or protection from losing your job for calling out your coworkers, clients etc.:

            • This is shit, the task is not done, it is going to take a few days to undo the mess you’ve made
            • This is because I’m black! You racist peasce of garbage!

            And

            • Your “demands” are insane pile of contradictory statements, no can do
            • You bad <position here>, I am calling my lawyer!

            So yeah, some people only understand when you speak in plain swear language, and no, that can never mean “so I can badmouth anyone just because I feel like it”
