Hatespeechword, what on earth is that, what sort of Orwellian censorship prompts such grammar.

Hate speech is speech that attacks a person or a group on the basis of protected attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

I think the term you were looking for was "ethnic slur", hate speech is not a term with a commonly accepted definition or example, as what would constitute as hatespeach to one person may not to others.

for example calling someone a N-word would be considered hate speech in western countries yet would be perfectly acceptable in asian ones.

No, “ethnic slur” wasn’t the term I was looking for or I would have used that.
