EU agrees new racial hatred law

European interior ministers have agreed to make incitement to racism an EU-wide crime, but have stopped short of a blanket ban on Holocaust denial.

The agreement makes it an offence to condone or grossly trivialise crimes of genocide - but only if the effect is incitement to violence or hatred.

The deal follows six years of talks, and will disappoint Germany, which pushed hard for a Holocaust-denial law.

Berlin has also had to drop a proposal for an EU-wide ban on Nazi symbols.

The European Network Against Racism said most European countries already had laws against incitement to racism, and the "weak text" would leave many national legal codes unchanged.

Films and plays

Under the agreement, incitement to hatred or violence against a group or a person based on colour, race, national or ethnic origin must be punishable by at least a year in jail.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

I wonder if this law can be truly enforced.

It will be selectively enforced, just like existing anti-hate legislation. God, I'm so glad we're getting out of Europe. I'm not racist, but I don't want to be thrown in jail for telling a joke or making an off-color remark that some idiot might interpret as racist.

Well...I'm guessing the Virgina Tech thing has calmed down a lot so I'm betting it will be either something close to the conservatives' hearts, or some sort of controversial immigration thing. Or something having to do with celebrities. :rolleyes:

I'd trade Paris Hilton in an instant to get back just one of those kids from Virginia Tech. It's awful that useless scum like her still walks the earth and the bright lights of tomorrow were gunned down in class.
