"Hate speech" is a bit of an Orwellian term. It includes things that aren't really hateful. For instance, if somebody had the belief that all members of a certain race should be sterilized for their own good, I would guess it would be considered hate speech, despite that it is rooted in a sickly paternalistic sort of sympathy. That's just a specific example. My point is that the vagueness of the term leaves it open to interpretation, which I think many would agree causes problems.
