First step is to criminalize it. We have been fighting racism and sexism for a long time, and it has gotten better. We must take one step at a time. It takes generations, but every step does count.

How about not. I hate racist and sexist people. But criminalizing thoughts and views is very serious and likely to be abused.

Not thoughts and views, actions are what is being discussed. You can hate anyone you like but once you act on that hate, it is a criminal matter. You can even say your thoughts and views, and the government can't stop you, but once those words go so far as harassment they are no longer free speech. Civil society, and even the internet, has basic rules.
