This is already going down the path of "what is hate speech". Here is what I think is a pretty simple definition:
Speech that explicitly or direct line implicitly dehumanizes anyone.
Then the arguments become pretty simple: does a statement dehumanize someone? Does it indicate that they are any less human than another? That's a much easier discussion to have.
