That is considered "inappropriate" in America. Freedom of speech is about legal consequences, not decorum.

Why not illegal? Can you easily move on without getting any penalties for spreading hate speech!

It's not illegal, because allowing the state to decide which opinions are allowable is incompatible with a free society.
We do have laws against harassment, which these sorts of people can be guilty of, depending on how they're expressing themselves.
There are social penalties for behaving this way. In all likelihood, you'd be fired from your job and shunned by most people. Like I said, it is considered inappropriate.

Ohh! Thank you so much! I was talking in comparison to India. India, so far doesn't have any code for free speech. From 'Social Media' people are regularly picked for abusing this 'freedom'. They are taken to custody and then sent to jail.
There's so much political debate here but publicly people are reluctant. Religious intolerance is also seen as an attempt to kill Indian culture!
Such things are just 'inappropriate' in US!

India is often described as the largest democracy in the world.
Is political expression generally allowed, but other subjects punished?
