Drich
What exactly are you asking, Drich? People do celebrate their cultural backgrounds without being racist. I could make up my own religion and start practicing its holidays if I want to do so. What I can't do is refuse to hire someone based on the color of their skin or their religious or sexual preferences. Can you give an example of which cultural practice would be done away with so that we can have this type of plain vanilla society that you describe?
How is anyone stopping you from being different? Of course, free speech means that others can criticize you also.
If a group of white supremacist want to hang out only with other white supremacist they can do so but if they own a business than they have to follow federal guidlines for hiring people. They can't discriminate. As I said before, they won't be free of criticism either.
Please define the word, force
Can you give an example of what mistakes you don't want repeated?
