: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]].

== Too many poor examples? ==
After reading this article, it seems like there are a lot of really disgusting remarks liberals have made that counts as hate speech. There are also many examples of liberal quotes that just aren't very nice. I think the article would be better off if we prune some of the not-so-bad ones, so that readers can immediately see the truly uncivilized manner in which libs conduct themselves. That Sharpton and Hillary Clinton quotes, for example, are horrifying and should be given greater prominence. [[User:JSaxon|JSaxon]] 10:31, 6 August 2010 (EDT)
