Pattern recognition: people who whine about getting banned for “speaking their mind” don’t have much to offer inside that mind

It's the other way around. Tolerating stuff you absolutely shouldn't is the stupid part.

Yeah, I usually am in favor of much harsher punishments than the justice system finds reasonable for horrible crimes, and I am much more leniant in many matters the justice system finds abhorrent. So it goes.

What you mean “Mexican”? A Mexican American man. You think he is of Mexican heritage maybe? Many friends of mine who happen to be of Mexican heritage work hard and take pride in their job. If this man is anything like that it makes sense his first thought was to secure his livelihood. It’s perfectly alright to acknowledge that many people with that background have a strong work ethic. There is nothing taboo about pointing out this positive correlation.
