Speaking ill about an Arab

Q: I recently had an argument with my friend. I read an article about Prince Muhammad bin Salman calling Trump the Muslims best friend. I told my friend that I think he's such a sellout. My friend responded by saying that it was improper for me to say so as Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said it that was not permissible to say anything bad about an Arab and it was impermissible to hate them.

A: Whether it is an Arab or non-Arab, whoever does a right then his right must be recognised and acknowledged, but if he does a wrong then the wrong needs to be condemned.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
