Is was used like that in Greek? Even the clinical meaning today does not include hatred.
> "Revulsion" might be a better translation than fear or hatred.
Fear does not require disgust. I am scared of snakes but I think they are beautiful animals.
Like many psychological things the line is more "when your response is damaging to yourself and others".
I knew someone with a phobia of stickers on fruit. Just tried to Google what that is called and found this comment from a sufferer:
"I can't have them on my skin and if anyone put one on me without prior warning I would panic and scream. I HATE HATE HATE ones on fruit"
Though the line between fear and hate is quite thin and blurry in human psychology. The arachnophobes I know do, in fact, hate spiders with a passion.

In some instances it may be, although the word 'awe' has no sense of hatred in it.

Okay, well how about snakes? I'm afraid of them but I don't think anybody is disgusted by them.
Awful has some meanings that are close
Edit: It might be a quote from fiction but there's some truth in there somewhere
The word you need is “xenophobia” (hate of the others, of those who are different). Race is a limited, artificial concept and by focusing on it we miss the forest for the trees. Xenophobia is as old as humanity and can be based on anything: physical features; ideas, religions, languages, family ties, etc.
