So, if some kid who's never been violent in his life gets attacked by a guy with a knife, and the only way to defend himself is to bash that guy's face in, I bet you he'd really like to take that option. So according to you, because he'd like to bash this guy's face in so he'd get to live himself, now means that he can't hate violence. Makes sense, bro. 
That's a totally different situation. Any sane person would defend themselves when attacked, regardless of what they think about violence. Although if the kid claimed he's a complete pacifist before braining the attacker, he shouldn't do that anymore afterward. A true pacifist would just turn the other cheek, bitch.
But what if the kid wasn't actually attacked on the street, but he's just fantasizing about it on the internet? "I dislike violence, but if someone attacked me with a knife, I would DUCKING bash their FACE in! RAAAGH!" If you phrase a sentence like that, the but does totally negate the 'I dislike violence' in the beginning. Kid sounds like a complete maniac. "I dislike violence, but if someone attacked me, I would defend myself" wouldn't, though. So it's not like some sort of grammar rule, just an annoying insincere thing people often do in their sentences. Like, their actual emotions shine through what they're saying, but they add a contrary statement in the beginning just for the sake of keeping up appearances.
People just don't like the way certain people do things. That's not being racist. That's just DISAGREEING with their ways. If I disagree with their ways enough that I think their entire race should be wiped out, then so be it.
Here's my definition of racism: Discrimination towards people based on their race.
So if I'm hiring, and I dismiss a black applicant because all black people are lazy, I'm being racist. If the applicant is a DnD Dark Elf, and I dismiss him because all Dark Elves are evil murderous psychopaths, I'm being racist. (Even if most of them are - this particular one could be Drizzt, who knows. Although I wouldn't hire Drizzt either. Smug dark elven Mary Sue ducker!)
Lumping all black people together as 'them', and disliking the whole race for 'their ways' is a textbook example of racism.
Your definition seems to be 'hating another race for no reason.' But if that is what racism is, then there are NO racists at all. Everyone has, from their own point of view, perfectly valid reasons for hating other races. (Even if the reasons are actually absurd and obviously false, like jews eating babies.)
