Context, yeah. That's the word I was looking for. Aren't most hate crime cases the result of an actual attack? I don't know of anybody who's been arrested for hate speech. But there are people who are arrested and charged with a more punitive hate crime if the words are in context with an altercation.

At first I thought this said "ethically". I was happy to hear about that change.
The fact that this country is changing ethnically may at least marginalize the issue. Haters will have to start keeping lists of who they hate.
