Freedom is freedom for minority rights and opinions to not be quashed by the majority. Thus the term "the tyranny of the majority"

A majority can "not care" about systematic racial injustice and other inequities. The consent of the majority doesn't make the system "free".

I guess China is a shining beacon of freedom for it's people too then.

You could post this exact same question about operating concentration camps.

They would be wrong.

That's the risk of democracy.

The alternatives have proven to involve a great deal less freedom.
