Slavery and racism is not a America only problem. We are just very loud and proud about it. (Not me personally, but I ain't blind to history and the people in my country).

Sure, but it's an example that's specific to the US. You can't go around in Germany praising Hitler and endorsing genocide, so why can you praise Lee and endorse genocide in the US?

Sounds like neither country has it exactly right. Allowing freedoms, even to assholes, is important. Not tolerating intolerance is also important. Hard one to balance.
