This thread is about being labeled for political beliefs different than your own.

I didn't make my point clear enough. You made the argument that because it's illegal, it's wrong. My point is that's circular, and in fact there should be a belief to support the legality or illegality of a thing. Because you didn't argue beliefs and instead basically argued that it's wrong because it's illegal, you left a big blank as to why you think it's wrong. Some people filled in that blank with the reasoning of *other* people who make similar arguments, assuming that your beliefs were the same.
The same thing happens to me when I argue against abortion. People assume that I'm a pro-life fundy because that's the typical reasoning, but I'm special. You're special, too!
Had you explained adequately how your reasoning was not motivated by nationality, but rather something else, I think that the cries of racism would have been silenced.
Oh, and capitalizing ILLEGAL bothers a lot of people because it sounds more like an angry rant than discussion.
