Trump's tweet was not racist. For the sake of demurrer, even if it was racist, that still would not imply any sort of legal consequences, because they United States cannot ratify or impose any treaty term that conflicts with the US constitution. The KKK and the Nazi party are racist organizations. You can be a member of either one in the United States, because the US first amendment is antecedent and superior to the UN's convention. The UN cannot violate the rights of the people of the United States secured by our Bill of Rights.

It may be because the UN calls for criminalizing "hate speech," which has no force and effect in the United States. So by calling everything they disagree with "racist," they may think that it would require the US government to do something, and they do not understand that the US government does not have the authority to regulate speech.

Their rights have not been violated in any way.

In the United States, you can say racist things with impunity. We have freedom of speech. You do not.
noemon wrote:It is the definition that the US government under Lyndon Johnson adopted in 1965.
The US cannot ratify a clause on "hate speech," because the first amendment precludes it in the United States. Freedom of thought implies the right to think racist thoughts. Freedom of speech implies the right to campaign for racist policies. You just don't get to infringe other people's rights unless you have done so by operation of law.
noemon wrote:You are arguing for racism at this very moment by pretending that what Trump said is not racist at all.
That's absurd.

They don't. It's meaningless.

Don't you want European peoples to leave North America and go back where they came from? It seems you've implied as much many times.
