Utopia Talk / Politics / Drag queens are not an ethnicity

Paramount Member	Thu Jun 05 04:12:20 A court in Sweden has ruled that Drag queens are not protected by the law ”Incitement to ethnic or racial hatred” because Drag Queens is neither an ethnicity or a race. A 45-year-old man who was charged with incitement against an ethnic group has been acquitted by Växjö District Court. The man wrote a comment on a post that P4 Kronoberg (a Swedish Radio station) published on Facebook about a story time for children with drag queens. In the comment, he wrote, "But for fuck's sake! Stop pushing insane perversions on our children!". So, everyone is now free to hate Drag Queens without risking any legal consequences. Sweden is not that different from Russia after all!
williamthebastard Member	Thu Jun 05 04:33:24 What? No. They filed a complaint of incitement to hatred against a group, not ethnicity.
Paramount Member	Thu Jun 05 05:01:59 But if you go to http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hets_mot_folkgrupp and switch language to English it will lead you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incitement_to_ethnic_or_racial_hatred which must be the English equivalent. Anyhow... it doesn't matter. We are now free to hate Drag Queens without risking any legal repercussions.
Paramount Member	Thu Jun 05 05:03:20 By the way, Folkgrupp translates to Ethnic group.
Paramount Member	Thu Jun 05 05:04:16 The name of the law is "Hets mot folkgrupp" not "Hets mot grupp".
williamthebastard Member	Thu Jun 05 05:05:28 "definition of hate speech is “any form of expression through which speakers intend to vilify, humiliate or incite hatred against a group or a class of persons on the basis of race, religion, skin color, sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, disability or national origin.”
williamthebastard Member	Thu Jun 05 05:09:23 folkgrupp means a group of people, which can mean, for example, disabled people - not their ethnicity, which means their national background.
Paramount Member	Thu Jun 05 06:12:25 En folkgrupp är en grupp människor som delas upp utifrån faktorer som ras, hudfärg, nationellt eller etniskt ursprung eller trosbekännelse. Denna definition används ofta i juridiska sammanhang, särskilt när det gäller hets mot folkgrupp. Google AI
Paramount Member	Thu Jun 05 06:14:30 Drag Queens are not a Folkgrupp.
williamthebastard Member	Thu Jun 05 06:17:03 Im not saying they are, for gods sake. People in wheelchairs are not an ethnicity, however
williamthebastard Member	Thu Jun 05 06:19:23 *Neither people in wheelchairs or drag queens are an ethnicity, however, as you must yourself realize.
williamthebastard Member	Thu Jun 05 06:20:48 Hets mot folkgrupp Att offentligt sprida uttalanden som hotar eller är nedsättande om en grupp av personer, med anspelning på ras, hudfärg, nationellt eller etniskt ursprung, trosbekännelse eller sexuell läggning. http://www.aklagare.se/ordlista/h/hets-mot-folkgrupp/
williamthebastard Member	Thu Jun 05 06:36:09 In the USA, the term is SPG, Special Population Group. And can mean any group that the law decides needs special protection due to special circumstances. For example, if Elon decides to tell his Qanon followers that lefthanded people must be persecuted and they start attacking lefthanded people, the law will likely decide that lefthanded people in that situation are an SPG that needs to be protected
Paramount Member	Thu Jun 05 07:58:37 The gist is that a court has ruled that it is legal to express hatred against Drag Queens.
