I am not familiar with the word Misanthrope, but the dictionary definition looks like it is more about hating mankind in general, which sounds broader than the OP's question. If the person holds the viewpoint that they hate people of all races due to their race rather than any other characteristic, and they distinguish their hate between the various races, then I'd say that's still racism.

Sounds like my boss.

'I'm not racist - I hate everyone!'
If I was easily offended, I would have been out of a job years ago!

It still qualifies as hating everyone if one's hatred extends to all races and therefore mankind as a whole. Unless the hatred is confined to specific elements of each race.

If that includes his own, no. If you mean every race except his own, yes.

Another slightly off topic scenario is : " I hate all those bunch of - - - - - -`s, but your alright mate"!
Is this person racist and if you come under that group being referred to, should you take offence!?

When will people start to understand there is only one race.

We are all members of the human race.

If some idiot wants to hate a person on the basis of where they are from or the colour of their skin, without even knowing that person, then they are a retard, simples.

No. They are displaying instinctive tribal traits, like every other animal species on the planet. It's just that many humans assume we should be "above" such behaviour. Nah, not quite so simples as that
