Bob Dylan is being sued for racism by a Croatian community group, reports Shalom Life this weekend, for comments he made in the French version of Rolling Stone earlier this year. When asked about slavery, Dylan said that “if you 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 Serbs can sense Croatian blood.” Yikes.

Dylan could be fined for his comments.
