You can personally interpret it as so but that does not give you the right to call them a blatantly offensive name based on your interpretation. One is no better than the other.

People have a right to disapprove of mass immigration - it is not an offence to do so. You may not like that but it is not your right to dictate how they can or cannot feel on that subject and many others. Voicing disapproval in itself is not hate - that word is being massively abused by a minority trying to dictate how others should think.
I agree with all of that, seems a bit of a random thing to bring up though.
