Well, not really. If you try to ostracize someone for being black you'll quickly face legal and/or social sanctions.

>Also, please try to show a single example of a person who defended pedophilia and ended up not being one?

Does expressing skepticism of the scientific basis behind anti-pedophilia laws constitute "defending" pedophilia? Furthermore, if the argument is valid, who cares who's mouth it's coming from? This looks like a lazy attempt to dismiss someone's argument.

One wishes that were true, but in most places in the developed west it absolutely is not.
