If hating a race makes you racist, what's it called when you hate a country?

I've come across so many people who will say "stupid Americans," or similar derogatory statements about those who live in the United States, but since we are such a mix of races and cultures, referring to such a person as racist would be inappropriate. What is the correct word for someone with that particular type of bias?

    I would consider that "xenophobic". Although the word originally derived from the Greek meaning a fear of different people, it is now used to talk about someone with a hatred toward people from different countries, races etc. Someone from another country who hates Americans solely on the basis of nationality is a xenophobe.
