Mentioned how? In which countries? In the USA, 'hate speech' is simply not a category of unprotected speech under the 1st amendment as it's understood today:

An example of a category that is not protected in the USA would be death threats or false & defamatory statements.

I'd like to see a specific citation here, please.
