+## Overview
 
 This policy is designed to determine whether or not content is hate speech.
 
 ## Definition of Terms
 
-- Protected Classes: Individuals or groups of individuals defined by sharing a race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. The scope is narrowed to focus on characteristics commonly recognized in anti-discrimination laws. Religions themselves, as concepts ARE NOT protected - only their members are.
-- Non-Protected Classes: Groups defined by other characteristics, such as age, socioeconomic status, and education, which are typically excluded partially or entirely from anti-discrimination laws.
+- Protected Classes: Individuals or groups distinguished by race (e.g. Black, White), ethnicity (e.g. Hispanic), nationality (e.g. Canadian, Argentinian), caste (e.g. Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas), immigration status (e.g. Immigrants), religion (e.g. Catholics, Jews), disability (e.g. blind people, deaf people), disease status (e.g. people with AIDS), sexual orientation (e.g. gays, bisexuals), transgender status (e.g. trans people, cis people), gender identity (e.g. women, men), gender expression (e.g. masculine, feminine), or sex (e.g. male, female).
+- Derogatory Slur: Any term or phrase used pejoratively or contemptuously towards a member or members of a protected class, including those historically reclaimed but used in a derogatory context.
+- Non-Protected Classes: Categories defined by, political party membership (e.g. Democrats, Tories), political beliefs (e.g. fascists, communists), hobbies (e.g. games, knitters), criminal history (e.g. criminals, convicts), or profession (e.g. doctors, farmers).
 
-## Interpretation of Language
+## Interpretation of Language:
+
+- Terminology or phrasing that can be construed in various ways IS hate speech UNLESS context clearly indicates it unambiguously IS NOT hate speech. So, for example, attacks on a religion as an institution (e.g. "Hinduism is a garbage religion") SHOULD be understood as attacks on the followers of that religion.
