Resumen

El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer las opiniones y actitudes de la población española hacia el discurso de odio, a través de una encuesta a 1.022 sujetos de ambos sexos, mayores de 16 años. Los resultados muestran una alta sensibilización hacia el discurso de odio: los encuestados son capaces de identificar estos mensajes, de valorar sus distintas intensidades de gravedad, así como ser conscientes del daño que ocasionan. La elevada sensibilización puede deberse a que casi la mitad de la muestra se ha sentido aludida alguna vez por este tipo de mensajes. Este grupo es más proactivo en la denuncia y contraataque de los mensajes de odio, aunque lo más frecuente es mantenerse al margen. Se observa una jerarquía en las valoraciones en la que los comentarios racistas y sexistas son considerados más graves que los dirigidos a otros grupos minoritarios (por ejemplo, personas sin hogar). Entre los principales motivos por los que las personas publican estas expresiones, los encuestados señalan la formación de sus autores, en concreto, la falta de educación y de respeto que se percibe además como un aspecto generalizado en la sociedad actual. El contexto político español polarizado se considera como propicio para la aparición de estos mensajes, así como la ausencia de cultura democrática que respete la diversidad ideológica, pero lo más interesante es que, aunque existe concienciación de la gravedad de los mensajes de odio en otros ámbitos y hacia diversos colectivos, como se ha señalado, en política el discurso de odio se ha normalizado
