That is a rather pithy, and ultimately too simplistic view of hate.
By what "flaws" does a bigot hate in a black person? Is skin color a flaw?
Not to imply that I agree with Watson... but as to 'is <black> skin color a flaw <to a person that doesn't like black skin>?: yes.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
