http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hate_speech&curid=14233&diff=469709349&oldid=469566072#cite_note-41 You added disabilities to the article, but I can't find any evidence that it is included. Can you direct me to an exact source?Sjö (talk) 15:02, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Hate crime and hate speech affecting disabled people is major problem, and significantly under-reported. Here are a few more sources:
