    Racism is a crime, even in America.

        Racism is not a crime in America then? Can I just travel over there and go throw around racial slurs?

          Yes, technically. It can be used as an enhancer (elevating an assault/battery to a hate crime) but its not a crime in itself.

          Hate crimes are what you’re thinking of here. Racism is awful but it’s not illegal. Saying racist things and verbally harassing, threatening, or abusing people are two very different things.
