'Can' they be? Yes, of course. No statement can be made without a context. HOW and WHY and TO WHOM you speak your 'facts' can have a huge impact on how they are heard and perceived.

Depends, if you're stating a fact in general, it can't hate speech. If you use it against someone to harass them, then it is.

It is possible that you can state facts in such a way that the unstated yet very obvious meaning is that of unjustifiable and false hatred toward a group. Hatred is not just words, it is what the words represent and are intended to represent.
