Sex & hookups 2 moments
How Sex & hookups shows up in South Park S4 E2:
If a man beats another man because that man was sleeping with his wife, is that not a hate crime?
What the hell is a hate crime? Uh, but I don't think this is a ruh- New laws have been passed that make any crime based on race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation a federal offense.
Swearing 12 moments
How Swearing shows up in South Park S4 E2:
Uh-uh-uh, where'd he go? Kenny! Kenny, you have to get me out of town! (What the fuck for?!) They're gonna put me in jail for a hate crime!
So I don't get to be on the team now? Shut up, fatass! Yeah, why don't you go eat some more pork rinds or something, you fat fuck?! Come on, let's get it a try.
…against a race! Do the democratic thing and send his fat little butt to prison! Ey! Don't call me fat, asshole!
Jeezus, he's gonna ram it! Crazy son of a bitch.
We're gonna make it, Kenny! We're gonna make it to Mexico! Oh, God damnit! Hello? Just a friendly reminder: Cartman's going to jail and you've got four days until the race, rump rangers! Son of a bitch!
…make damn sure they're the same color as you are! Court is adjourned! Bailiffs, escort this little bastard to Juvenile Hall.
What the hell are they doing? The chase has now moved through most of Arizona and nears the Mexican border.
We're bastards.
How's prison? Well, it sucks balls.
Whattaya think? Cartman, why the hell did you have to commit a hate crime?! We're gonna lose to girls because of you! Yeah! So you gotta bust out of here.
That sucks that we couldn't give him the nail file.
Oh, God-damnit! You flushed them?! Well, you spend eight years takin' a crap and then flushin' the toilet; it sorta becomes a reflex! Please, just help me bust out of here.
Racism & slurs 1 moment
How Racism & slurs shows up in South Park S4 E2:
What turns a normal, fat little eight-year-old boy into a vicious, hate-crime-commiting racist? We take you live to the courtroom as the defendant takes the stand.
Homophobic jokes 1 moment

All hate crimes do is support the idea that blacks are different from whites, that homosexuals need to be treated differently from non-homos, that we aren't the same.
Fat-shaming 3 moments
How Fat-shaming shows up in South Park S4 E2:
Wuh-okay! You guys ready up there!? Ready! On your marks! Get set! Uh-go! We win again! That's not fair! Cartman's ass is so fat he makes your sled go faster!
Yeah! And with Cartman's enormously fat ass, the boys are sure to win! Token, I swear to God, if you call me fat one more time I'm gonna smack you on the head with this rock! -Fatass.
Let's all hear it for Cartman's big, fat ass! Do British people count as an ethnicity for hate crimes? -Naah.
