Hate speech generally refers to any speech, gesture, conduct, writing, display or presentation that may incite violence or prejudicial action against or by a particular individual or group, or cause offense or harm to a person based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or any other personal characteristic. Intentionally spreading derogatory or inflammatory remarks, using derogatory or insensitive terms, or making threats or slurs based on a person's identity or background can be considered hate speech. It is important to be mindful of the potential impact of our words and actions on others and to treat all individuals with respect and dignity, regardless of their differences or personal characteristics.
