Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The issue you raise is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. The laws on hate speech do not list specific terms which are illegal. In a specific case, it is up to the courts to decide whether the law has been broken.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
