Religious freedom used as excuse for bigotry and prejudice

Not all white people think the same and I think this issue is more about people forcing their viewpoints or people who don’t agree on a personal level. I was traveling in China when Obama was running for president the 1st time, and I was frequently asked if I thought it would be possible for Obama to win. The real question they were asking me is if it would be “allowed”. I told them “of course”. I didn’t vote for Obama but I did think it sent a message to the people in the US and around the world that people can aspire to be what they want. I’m proud of my country and the system we have even with it’s imperfections. So if I don’t agree with Obama’s ideas does that make me a racist? I think the TPP is a disaster and I don’t agree with spending taxpayer dollars on the Paris Climate Accord. I think it just means that I have different views and I don’t agree with the content.
