Controversial speech is exactly what needs to be protected. There is nothing more controversial in Western Civ than suggesting that populations have inherent differences that explain different outcomes.
More relevantly to your post, I find it disgusting that you would think for a second that persecuting somebody for rationally and thoughtfully laying out their position is okay. This is exactly the kind of behavior that drives the emergence of guys like Trump. If conservatives are going to be driven into poverty and generally ostracized for engaging in thoughtful debate, what’s the point of trying to be thoughtful? Might as well be brash and offensive. At least you’ll get a laugh out of it.
