Hate speech has no objective definition.
Language is a social phenomenon, yes.
"Blacks and whites should be equal." Would have been considered hate speech in 1890.
Thankfully your style of rebuttal would be just as tiresome in 1890 as it is in the modern day.
Except I'm 1890 I would have had the weight of academia and public policy behind me.
