I believe the phrase " potential to incite hatred and violence" is just as dangerous and any words that some might think would cause the incitement!

The best thing you can do when someone says something repulsive is to turn away and not give them any attention. When you make all these claims abut "incitement" you just create the "Streisand Effect" and give them the platform they desire.

As Frank Zappa once said: "We are arguing about words, and that's dumb!"
