    It depends on where you are asking about. And what you mean by hated. For instance blacks in the American south were as a rule considered inferior by whites but were not hated. In the Northeast there was sometimes hate between various ethnic groups. For the most part it was less a matter of hate than of social status.

    Polish is one of those words which absolutely demands a capital letter if you want to make your question clear. A comma would help too.

    Blacks. It was just after the war, and the plantation owners were pitting black against white.

    Irish came in a close second though.
