So, not allowing racism and sexism is considered oppression? Also, being intolerant doesn't just mean physical violence. It can involve non-violent means.

Well, yes it is, at least from an anarchistic point of view. How would you prevent racism and sexism from not happening? And if we'd live in an anarchy, what difference would it make if someone is racist or sexist?

Racism and sexism are just terms in modern society to describe real or imagined dislike towards certain people. If I dislike someone (or someone dislikes me) because he or she is, or I am, ugly that's supposed to be ok, but if it's based on sex or skin colour, it is not ok for some odd reason, even if the result would be excactly the same. From my point of view, it really doesn't matter why I'm being discriminated.

Wait, are you really trying to argue that racism and sexism are OK? That it's just like disliking an individual?
