| Sumario: | In this paper we analyse utterances that, without explicitly constituting hate speech, nevertheless convey a hateful message. For exam-ple, in the headline “Iraqi Refugee is convicted in Germany of raping and murdering teenage girl”, the presence of “Iraqi refugee” does not seem arbitrary. To the contrary, it is responsible for inviting a racist inference against Iraqi refu-gees. We defend that these inferences cannot be described as slurs, ethnic or social terms used as insults, dogwhistles or conversational implicatu-res. Rather, we propose that these inferences are insinuations, specifically provocative insinua-tions, as no conversational response seems effec-tive at blocking them |
