Antipathy

Description

A fixed attitude when feelings of repugnance, dislike, and sometimes hostility, cause an individual to shrink from some person or object, whether rationally (based on some reason and feeling of which the individual experiencing antipathy is consciously aware) or irrationally.

The state is quite consistent with morality and may, indeed, be necessary at some stages of moral development. In fact, it is a mental or emotional state unrelated to ethical considerations.
