Swedish Pastor Beats "Hate Crime" Rap

[Volokh, Eugene]

	Folks:  Though for historical reasons the list is generally
open, its aim is mostly to focus on issues that are helpful to legal
academics, and to do so using a relatively academic tone.  Asking people
things like "What on earth do you mean by [something]?" usually isn't
quite consistent with that sort of tone; a subtler "I'm not sure I quite
follow -- what does [something] refer to?" might be more conducive to
thoughtful discussion.'

	Better yet might be hazarding a guess as to what the other
person means, and perhaps asking him (off-list or on-list) to confirm
that.  I take it that here "racism" was used expansively to mean not
just racial bigotry but (supposed) ethnic or national bigotry.
