Anyhoo, the Oxford English Dictionary definition of race is
which seems to differ from your definition.
I think you will find that humans are a species (Homo Sapiens Sapiens), rather than a race......

Indeed, in fact didn't the British Nazi Party challenge the definition in court to prove that the "indigenous" population of the British Isles should considered a race in its own right?

Fear is not automatically related to hate (unless you are Yoda). I fear death, but I don't hate it. What would be the point? Mrs Flyboy fears moths, but she does not hate them. I am sure there are many here who fear many things, but cannot find any logical reason to hate them.
