Do you think libel and defamation should be allowed? Those are restrictions on speech which rely on their being some identifiable truth.
I guess I just don't understand why saying "[individual X] is a criminal" is restricted but I can say "everyone in [group Y] is a criminal" without repercussion. Why does the broadening of the statement make it allowable? It seems just as easy to disprove and just as damaging to society.
