The Argument
Countries all around the world fight against each other because of their differences. In Japan, even though they have a law that curbs hate speech, there are still anti Korean sentiments.[1] Their hatred for each other is usually caused by wars they’ve had in the past. After the Rwandan genocide, which killed thousands of Tutsi people, the Tutsi and Hutu have been fighting each other ever since.[2] It makes no sense to force control on all countries to abide by the same social rules as each other. Different countries have different values. Therefore, hate speech should be regulated according to cultural beliefs.
Counter arguments
Hate speech might be normal to do in different cultures, but the violence that follows, like the Rwandan genocide, leaves devastating consequences. Over 800,000 people died in three months.[2]
