Bizarre. For some reason U.S. American usually dislike Serbs. (I am not Serb)

The problem is he referenced Nazis, a political party, and compared them to Croats, an ethnic group.

Should have compared Nazis to Ustaše, but then of course nobody would have known what he was talking about.

If he was going to discuss Croat atrocities, he should have compared them to German, not Nazi, atocities.

The reason is that Saudi Arabia paid millions of dollars to PR firms in the run-up to the NATO bombing of the former Yugoslavia to convince Americans that only Serbs were guilty of "ethnic cleansing."

In the post mortem we discovered atrocities of about the same kind and scale were committed by both sides. But the Serbs had no sugar daddy to bankroll a rehab campaign, and their historical friendliness with Russia hasn't helped.

[I am not Serb, either.]

Technically very correct. But that doesn’t change the fact that the French position is preposterous — as are all “incitement to racial hatred” laws.

A bad analogy is not a crime.

No controversy in Europe for saying black people "blacks!" can smell "Klan blood" in white people.

Do members of Byrd's family also have "Klan blood"? Are these kids "guilty" in Bob Dylan's mind?

The comedic possibilities here are intriguing.

Agreed. In fact, very little speech should be criminal.

Except, Germans aren’t an ethnic group either. If we follow your argument, then nobody can say Germans were Nazis during WWII.

Sure, you can nitpick party membership vs. general population, but as a blanket statement, it is correct.
