Hate words are, as the name implies, hateful words that cause pain, because they are derogatory in nature. These are the worst words you could use, especially if you are part of a group with power over another group which, because of minority status or history of discrimination has less power. (I.e
strait person has power over homosexual, white has power over racial minority, male over female, Christian over other religions, typically developing person over
disabled person, ect). Examples: Nigger, faggot, hoe, skank, retard, slut, cunt,
kike, ect.
