The discussion is not about thoughtcrimes. It is about hate *speech* which is a different matter. The U.S. is actually violating an UN resoltion by not passing hate speech laws.
The UN does not make the laws for the U.S. And besides, the U.S. 'does' have certain laws and precedents that limit the freedom of speech (including "hate speech"). And while Americans can say and hold racist things, enciting people to violence based on these things is prohibited. --LV
