hatemongering
Inciting group hostility
Hatemongering is the deliberate stirring up of hatred toward a group—spreading inflammatory rhetoric, fear, or hostility for political or ideological purposes.
A hatemonger peddles hate the way a fishmonger peddles fish or a warmonger promotes war: The radio host built his career on hatemongering against immigrants.
The term is always pejorative.
