There are several characteristics that differentiate between hate speech and criticism:

  1. Hate Speech generally discusses that a group of people is incapable of behaving properly as opposed to Criticism which generally discusses particular actions being taken as improper.
  2. Hate Speech targets people (who generally are in a certain group or hold a certain ideal) whereas Criticism generally targets ideas or actions.
  3. Hate Speech has as its underlying basis an irrational or fear-based view (and may try to obfuscate this with facially rational arguments) whereas Criticism is based on a rational argument and asserts acceptable evidence.
  4. Hate speech may threaten violence whereas Criticism never does.
  5. Hate speech often uses curses and slurs whereas Criticism is usually couched in strong but non-offensive language.

Hate speech criminalization is a major limitation on speech. Diversity people are granted special protection by big government so as to prevent their hurt feelings and prevent them from reacting with violence toward a hate speaker. If a Diversity person or a hate speaker react with any form of violence, only the hate speaker is necessarily subject to government prosecution for hate speech. The intent of hate speech criminalization is to chill criticism of Diversity people. Another limitation on speech is free speech zones designated by big government. Outside a free speech zone a speaker is subject to arrest and prosecution.
