[Discrimination towards the Target Group] In a society with structural and historical discrimination towards a certain group, hate speech that can be lightly regarded can lead to or reinforce serious discrimination or hostility. It is necessary to identify the kinds of discrimination the target group faces from the public area (police, judiciary, administrative offices, etc.) or the private area (companies), and the public’s awareness of discrimination towards the target group. [Legal or Institutional Measures for the Target Group] It is necessary to review whether there are legal or institutional measures that protect and prohibit the discrimination of the target group and whether those measures can actually come into effect, or if there are discriminatory legal or institutional measures towards the target group. [Media Topography] It is necessary to review whether there is repeated media coverage that negatively describes the target group, how widespread the distorted information on the target group is, and whether there is another source of information that counters the distorted information. [Political Topography] It is necessary to identify whether political attempts have been made to group together the supporting groups by causing discrimination and hostility towards the target group during important political occasions such as elections. In addition, it is necessary to review whether the target group is represented in official political events through politicians or other figures. 53
