Outside the law, hate speech is any speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of e.g. race, religion, gender, disability, or sexual orientation.

According to the law, hate speech is any speech, gesture or conduct, writing, or display which is forbidden because it may incite violence or prejudicial action against or by a protected individual or group, or because it disparages or intimidates a protected individual or group.

Some examples of hate speech are:

  • A group of white recasts burning a cross on the yard of a black family (R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul, 1992)
  • Talking in a way that promotes violence against a specific religious group, homosexuals, an ethnic group, etc.
