Hate speech can be made by minorities, and does not say that everyone is equal.

"Hatred is predicated on destruction, and hatred against identifiable groups therefore thrives on insensitivity, bigotry and destruction of both the target group and of the values of our society. Hatred in this sense is a most extreme emotion that belies reason; an emotion that, if exercised against members of an identifiable group, implies that those individuals are to be despised, scorned, denied respect and made subject to ill-treatment on the basis of group affiliation"

Doesn't matter who says it. Certainly doesn't claim that everyone is equal, because it targets an identifiable group.

Doesn't matter who says it.

But it does matter who prosecutes "hate". Selective punishment cuts all ways always.

He's not in an at risk group for being treated unfairly by the court system.

Says you. /s/Victimhood is subjective.

Being treated unfairly by the court is less subjective.

You can compare the outcomes for similar situations for people of dissimilar backgrounds or demographics.
