How effective are Hate Speech Laws?

All sorts of speech are outlawed besides so-called 'hate speech'. For example perjury, defamation, incitement to riot, incitement to crime, swearing on children's television and the like. If it is to be argued that passing laws against certain speech drives that speech underground and foments civil disobedience then we should not prosecute these either and it follows the we should thus allow citizens to lie in court, defame people, incite crime and so on. Humour doesn't usually constitute hate speech and nor does robust criticism of certain behaviours, such as risk taking. If however, hate speech laws start to become trivialised through vexatious application and arbitrary prosecution then we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water thereby legalising the use of racist and homophobic invective, but should instead curtail frivolous, vexatious and arbitrary situations in the first place. Unless you ar a gay person or a Jew, you don't know the full personal impact of hearing public speakers calling for the genocide of your kind, however wittily, and the drastic decisions that may connote in terms changing where you live and where to send your children to school.

Is the term anchor baby hate speech?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Words are just words, they are neither hate nor are they benign. It is how they are used that makes them hateful. It would depend on how you used the phrase "Anchor Baby" that would determine if it is or is not hate speech. You would have to look at your local/state laws to see what, when, where, and how hate speech is defined.
