Ethnic hatred , inter ethnic hatred , racial hatred , or ethnic tension refers to feelings and acts of prejudice and hostility towards an ethnic group in various degrees. See list of anti ethnic and anti national terms for specific cases. There are multiple origins for ethnic hatred and the resulting ethnic conflict s.
