Shades of gray are allowed and some RPer's will be able to choose non-normal 
friendships/enemies for their racial hatreds, but think of it this way, if I 
am friends with elves and I shouldn't normally be friends(perhaps dislike to 
like switches should be allowed but no more) Their enemies would become my 
enemies by default, so instead of being less restrictive it would be more 
restrictive and there is disadvantages/balance for this situation.  There 
are several ways we can handle this.

The scale as I conceived it was enemy-dislike-neutral-like-friend so there 
are shades for all interactions and the nominal values can be varied to some 
degree, but if your dislike becomes a like their enemies would become your 
dislikes automatically.  And for spies against their own your enemies could 
become your friends but then your own kind would be your enemy.
