Vad tänker ni om domen?
Hade mannen kunnat dömas om han hade gjort samma sak i Sverige?
Tycker ni att staten kunna bestämma över vilket språk som är lagligt respektive olagligt?
Finns inte risken att den typen av makt över språket användas för att kriminalisera t ex kritik över makthavare?
Citat:
A SHETLAND man has been hit with a £500 fine for saying the word "n*****" as he sang along to a Wu-Tang Clan song on TikTok while in a ladies' toilet.
Kyle Siegel's use of the racial slur left a woman of mixed race in a cubicle "severely shocked", a court heard.

Citat:
Tommy Allan, Siegel's lawyer, said his client was “singing along to a TikTok on a friend’s phone”.
He said the song in question was Wu-Tang Clan’s Protect Ya Neck. Allan told Sheriff Ian Cruickshank that they were a well-established group formed in Staten Island, New York City, in 1992, with members of an “ethnic background”.
The defence solicitor said a few issues arose from the case, such as “artistic freedom”, but he noted Siegel was not a “person of colour”.

"I take aim and blow that nigga out the frame
And like Fame, my style'll live forever
Niggaz crossin' over, but they don't know no better
But I do, true, can I get a "sue"
'Nough respect due to the one-six-ooh
I mean ohh, yo check out the flow
… Like the Hudson or PCP when I'm dustin'
Niggaz off because I'm hot like sauce"
"I'll attack any nigga who's slack in his mack
Come fully packed with a fat rugged stack"
"… The Ol' Dirty Bastard is dirty and stinkin'
Ason Unique rollin' with the night of the creeps
Niggaz be rollin' with a stash, ain't sayin' cash"
"Niggaz so stingy they got short arms and deep pockets
This goes on in some companies"
And like Fame, my style'll live forever
