Does it actually incite hatred or merely state what the writer sees as being the facts?

The line is becoming blurred now between freedom of speech and racial hatred when it should be really obvious.

If I were to say that in the school down the road white children are a small minority that's just a factual statement. However if I were to say that I didn't want my children to go to a school where they are an ethnic minority then that's becoming more of a problematic statement.

Incidentally they did go to that school and it was and still is in my opinion an excellent school.
