Hate speech laws are an idiotic concept; there already are laws that ban threats of violence (not only to individuals, but to groups as well). Saying that
<group> people are stupid isn't hate speech, it's at worst a rash generalization and a great example of how confirmation bias can get to the best of us. Free speech is about letting people publicly display their wrongness, and providing an open environment for
disproving their bullshit. Fuck you and your ,,oh no it's wrong to offend people'' gang. Now, that being said...
I'm not vilifying anyone. I'm just using my right to say the English word
nigger, without any connotations whatsoever; if you believe this word to be pejorative, then please consider the phrase ,,he's mah nigga'' when used to express camaraderie and affection. And using the word nigger in a pejorative manner does not imply hatred, it could simply be within the context of a joke (which, by definition, is not serious). I find it quite ironic that you pick on me, since I'm usually the one complaining about the rights of minorities and social injustice.
