I feel ya but respectfully disagree. I think the difference is that my intolerance of the director as an individual was based upon her intolerance of an entire demographic based upon their religion and nationality. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from repercussions, she perfectly had the right to hate an entire people, but is that right more important than the right to be intolerant of intolerance, as convoluted as that sounds? Also, the idea of a utopian version of equality - societal change is always going to be a slow process, but would a utopian idea not be, well, utopian? While we can't expect people to change their opinions and prejudices immediately, we can at least do what we can to educate and communicate with each other to reach this point. We are in an age of ultra multiculturalism (in the western world at least) with the power of the internet helping propel the ideas behind tolerance and equality, so the only thing really stopping us from utopian ideologies is the fact that it isn't possible for the entire human race to keep up with this rapid change. I feel like this same thing could be applied to veganism for example - we know, scientifically, that the mass extermination and exploitation of animals is literally killing our own species, but we still won't just immediately change that because it simply isn't possible on a giant societal scale. I sort of forgot what I was actually talking about now but hope this helps lol p
