The idea of suing a website might seem abhorrent to advocates of free speech on the internet, but maybe one case shows that it can be justified?
Whitefish Woman's Lawsuit Over 'Daily Stormer' Harassment Proceeding
The Missoulian is reporting [archive] that a Whitefish woman's lawsuit against a Nazi website is going forward.
Montana Public Radio reports that Andrew Anglin, publisher of The Daily Stormer, is being sued by an individual the website targeted because of the mother of Richard Spencer:
The Daily Stormer called for readers to harass her and her family over her dealings with the mother of white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Northwestern Montana, however, has had some experience in dealing with neo-Nazis in the neighborhood.

Minorities being rare in an area makes them an easy target for the hate groups.
As far as Nazis not being numerous. I don't think they are numerous anywhere in the USA. But they are loud as fuck which gives people the impression that the country is only a couple steps away from 1938.

Who's holding the megaphone? Gee, it's almost as if the mainstream media's owners want the general public to think there's a big resurgence of Nazmunists (read: violent authoritarians) in the USA... Divide-and-conquer, still relevant more than 2,000 years later.

I think there has to be some number larger than a couple of guys before a minority can be a viable target for real hate speech. Else, they're a novelty, not a threat. Where i grew up there was one Vietnamese family and their son was elected president of the student body. There was also one kid who was a white supremacist who memorably got up to denounce the corrosive influence of blacks and jews and all of us white kids who constituted 100% of the class looked around at each other and said "what black kids? What jews?"
