El «discurso de odio» se ha expandido, ya que no tiene que vincularse necesariamente con una aversión discriminatoria. Este trabajo persigue verificar empíricamente si ello realmente ha acontecido. Con esta finalidad se ha llevado a cabo una búsqueda y análisis del contenido de las resoluciones penales (españolas) que emplean el término discurso de odio. La imagen resultante muestra que esta figura efectivamente se asocia con delitos que no contienen un factor discriminatorio, enjuicia expresiones que no afectan mayoritariamente a sujetos vulnerables, utiliza la ideología como principal motivo discriminatorio y se integra dentro de estrategias comunicativas de polarización.
«Hate speech» has broadened, as it does not necessarily have to be linked to discriminatory aversion. The aim of this paper is to verify empirically whether this has actually happened. To this end, a search and analysis of the content of (Spanish) criminal rulings using the term hate speech has been carried out. The resulting image shows that this figure is indeed associated with crimes that do not contain a discriminatory factor, that do not mainly affect vulnerable subjects, that the most frequently used discriminatory motive is ideological and that it is used as a communicative strategy of polarisation.
