Incitement to racial or ethnic hatred is a crime under the laws of (at least) three countries.

Australia

In Australia, the Racial Hatred Act 1995 amends the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, inserting Part IIA - Offensive Behaviour Because of Race, Colour, National or Ethnic Origin. It does not, however, address the issue of incitement to racial hatred. The Australian state of Victoria has addressed the question, however, with its enactment of the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001.

Finland

In Finland, agitation against an ethnic group (Template:Lang-fi) is a crime according to the Finnish criminal law's (1995/578) chapter 11. §: 8.
