Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

Yes, such hadith exists, the Prophet (peace be upon him) prohibited to abuse the Arabs. We should not used bad words for Arabs in any condition. Suppose if some Arab committed theft, there is nothing wrong to condemn the theft, but it is unlawful to blame the Arabs. It is against the hadith, we should avoid it.
