Additionally, Brussels seeks to extend the list of EU crimes to add all forms of hate crime and hate speech based on race, religion, gender or sexuality.

The first person to bring up race is the racist.

Therefore today’s “Yes, I am a racist” award goes to (drum roll, please) Ursula von der Leyen!

...the murder of George Floyd in the US...

George Floyd was not "murdered". George Floyd, a violent career criminal, died of a fentanyl overdose.
