It seems Bob Dylan is being investigated in France for 'inciting racial hatred' in some remarks he made to Rolling Stone last year.
"If you got a slave master or Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that. That stuff lingers to this day. Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood."

Croatians are furious and are screaming you can't characterise all Croatians based on the behaviour of some war criminals. They need to be clear on which war as Croats have been bashing Serbs for quite some time, particularly in World War II. They say there aren't so many war criminals but they don't seem to have trouble finding more when they want them. (WIKI: World War II persecution of Serbs)
Germany stood up to what happened in WWII and has been making reparations ever since. Racism in the U.S. is just as virulent as it ever was and it doesn't seem much has changed in Croatia either.
Charging Dylan with racial hatred makes no more sense than charging Walt Disney with animal rights abuse.
