Responding to a situation where someone says you can't say something because it's not allowed in America can be tricky, and the appropriate comeback depends on the context and the tone of the conversation. Here are a few potential comebacks that you could consider using:
"Actually, in America, we have the freedom of speech, which means I can express my opinions and ideas within the bounds of the law."
"I believe in respecting everyone's right to free speech, even if we disagree. It's one of the essential values that make America great."
"While there are certain limitations on speech, I'm confident that I'm not crossing any legal boundaries by expressing my thoughts."
"Part of what makes America special is our ability to have open discussions and express diverse viewpoints. Let's embrace that."
"I'm open to discussing differing opinions. If you think what I said was wrong, let's have a constructive conversation about it."
"Freedom of speech means we have the right to express ourselves, even if it's uncomfortable for some. It's a cornerstone of our democracy."
"I believe in free speech, but I also understand the importance of being respectful and considerate in our words."
"As long as I'm not promoting hate or breaking the law, I'm entitled to share my thoughts like anyone else."
"I value our freedom of expression, which allows us to have open debates and challenge ideas without fear."
"Let's remember that freedom of speech comes with a responsibility to use it wisely and respectfully."
Remember to use these comebacks in a respectful and constructive manner. The goal is not to escalate the situation but to promote understanding and thoughtful dialogue. If the conversation becomes heated or unproductive, it might be best to step away or find a more appropriate time to discuss the matter.
