This stuff, race and religious hatred, is a fact of life. It has played out in Europe and America before, and has played more successfully in the US precisely because law and government has stayed away from it, and because of the diverse backgrounds of so many citizens, there has never been an overwhelming majority of folks seeking to dominate the entire culture (at least not since Colonial times).

What can happen is that making it a political/ legal issue simply makes it a matter of gaming the system. This becomes a method of giving the bigots free publicity and a way to lever the issue into the consciousness of people who inherently mistrust government. I see it as a way to recruit bigots.
Far better to form "Anti-Defamation Leagues" and put the matter before the people. Better to make newspapers rich than lawyers.

I am not a Seinfeld fan remotely like I'm a Simpsons fan, but I remember an episode where Seinfeld was trying to break up his uncle with his uncle's girlfriend. He convinced his uncle that his girlfriend was an anti-semite. Later in the same half hour Seinfeld decides breaking them up was a mistake, he sits his uncle down and tells him he's never going to do better "But she's an anti-semite!" says his uncle. Seinfeld looks straight at him: "Can you blame her?"

I don't think the above should ever be legislatable as anything other than drama/ entertainment.

Government OUT!
