race hatred

Prejudice toward groups

Race hatred is intense hostility toward people based on their racial or ethnic background.

The term appears in legal and political contexts discussing discrimination, hate crimes, and extremist ideologies: laws against inciting race hatred, a campaign fueled by race hatred.

Unlike casual prejudice, race hatred implies active malice or desire to harm.
