There's actually a difference between informal speech and public speech, and some things can only be a crime if they're said in public. In private you can hold any position you want. As my professor said, no one is stopping you from being a fascist or racist, just don't bring it up on national television or when giving a speech for your party. It's unfair and double standarded, but there are reasons for it.
