"It's true" isn't the bar for hate speech. Hate speech is the direct, explicit fomentation of hatred against groups that are particularly vulnerable to the possibility of that hatred manifesting. You can encourage hatred and also say something based on facts (barring semantic arguments, e.g. your example), and likewise you can express those same facts without expressing hatred.
