    In broad terms, at least in the U.S., no. The rest depends on the facts.

    In general, no, it is not a crime to be an ignorant buffoon. If you make threats to cause harm, then the answer is "maybe."

    As you have asked the question, no, it's not.

    However, details matter. Why do you want to know?

    Bigotry is not my thing
