There is no question about "what country" the twins come from. They are Americans. Just listen to the whole show. Their remark about being called "crackers" by "blacks" is pretty revealing. That term is normally applied to "white trash" in the US southeast. These are all terms of hate, and they get bandied about by many sides.
Whenever you allow freedom of speech, religious tolerance, political free will, you have to accept the fact that you are creating openings for people who do not agree with your philosophy. The same laws that allow parents to keep their kids at home to be educated in the same religious and philosophical beliefs as their family are openly exploited by those who hate, as we can see here with these two girls.
The only way society can protect itself is with laws to make sure that no-one is attacked, mentally, emotionally or physically, nor denied the opportunity to pursue education and employment.
You can decry their beliefs if you choose, but there are probably just as many people who will decry your own. Stripping these people and their children of their rights to pursue such views and beliefs would ultimately result in you losing these rights for yourself.
Freedom is a two-edged sword.

Everybody has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
