Talk:Liberal hate speech (view source)
Revision as of 20:30, February 18, 2010
, 20:30, February 18, 2010→"Others"
The subhead "Against white males" was reverted and "Others" restored. Can it be substanitated with a citation to a law that white males are a "legally protected class" as the article's intro defines it? Likewise, the catchall "others" belongs at the bottom of the list as an afterthought being that it doesn't really even meet the qualifications as strictly here defined.

:It was established, I believe, in ''Regents of the University of California v. Bakke'', that reverse-discrimination of that sort is against the law, so in that way white men are a "legally protected class." I am unsure if a racially motivated crime against a white person can be prosecuted as a hate crime. [[User:CarlSfromMN|CarlS from MN]] ([[User talk:CarlSfromMN|Talk]]) 15:20, 18 February 2010 (EST)

::Good question. Even with a judicial ruling, the Bakke decision was not enforced by the Clinton administration. But the question is on enforcement of legislation, not enforcement of law written by judicial activists. As to the courts, Bakke appears to be headed toward reversal anyway with the appointment of Sotomayor [[Sonia_Sotomayor#Race-based_decision]]. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 15:30, 18 February 2010 (EST)
