43. I didn't say anything about legal definitions
what I said was about the meaning of a phrase. "Fuck white people" may not be considered hate speech even if you replace the skin color in the phrase, but it certainly means "I hate white people" or "I hate 'blank' people".

although from reading that it seems like the only reason that "fuck white people" is not considered hate speech would be because white people are not one of those protected groups. So much for equal protection under the law.
