What does this have to do with minority populations? Speech that incites violence is already a crime.

Minorities are most often the targets of hate speech. Which is why LGTBQ youth are often bullied both IRL and online and they commit suicide. And yes, it is a crime. But this thread is talking about deleting comments; not about law enforcement.

This thread is about hate speech and the ambiguous subjective definitions that have lead to this unending censorship problem.
If the core agreement is that it's about hate against a group, then saying "minority" is nothing more than just a shortcut for a certain group and doesn't really add anything to the discussion of what is hate speech.
