No, when Shadow says he hates humanity, he genuinely means he hates humanity, as in homo sapiens. At his worst, he views us like roaches that need to be exterminated.

It says 嫌いなもの: 人類すべて (Dislikes: All humanity) using jinrui (人類) in Shadow's Sonic Channel bio. Jinrui (人類) is a means mankind, humanity, or the human race.

Shadow also uses jinrui (人類) in his game several times.
>Shadow: Mankind (人類) must be punished.
>Shadow: To test Black Doom's words that my memory is etched with vengeance for mankind (人類), I joined the plan to blow up their city. I felt something lurking in my memory gradually come back to life in front of the burning scene. Vengeance for mankind (人類)!
>Shadow: ...Fragments of memories that had almost disappeared surfaced. Memories of vengeance for mankind (人類)!
>Shadow: Scattering the heartless G.U.N. soldiers who were trying to take Maria's life brought back my hatred for humanity (人類) in me. You ugly humans! I'll show you no mercy!
>Shadow: The star-piercing Eclipse Cannon... Now, you humans (人類) shall regret the mistakes you have made!
There's also many instances of Shadow using ningen (人間) to refer obviously to humans.
>Shadow: Why do humans (人間) hurt each other? Why do they want to hurt us? How foolish can human beings (人間) be?!
