Hate speech? Why, or why not?

I personally would not take any action based on this, except that I want rules enforced consistently. Probably the desire to see rules enforced consistently is merely another h bastion of my mouthpieciness of white supremacy.

What I am really seeking by making this post is a clear understanding of what constitutes hate speech. This (“House Pochos”) seems a clear negative shot at my racial and ethnic ancestry; a variant of “House (n-word),” the similar derisive term for a black person insufficiently supportive of black issues as determined by the left.

Or am I wrong in my assumption of “House Pocho?”
