I think that depends on context tbh. I've met racists that hates everything about immigration, my father and me due to something that have happened to them a couple of times. One I spoke to ended up in hospital for a few days after getting beaten, robbed etc. by some somali people.

This kinda shit can lead some people to anxiety attacks when presented with similar situations or when white people see a group of blacks for example. That coupled with fear can lead to hatred which is deep rooted in one incident that changed their view of the world completely.

It's funny though because dude cool with me until I egged him on about what he hated about immigration and so on, then when I dropped the bomb about my father being an immigrant himself and a part of the people he hated with a passion he resorted to just hating him/my family, not me for some reason because ''I was one of the nice ones''. Dude was smart too, in the sense that he knew politics, science and human brain and so on but when it came to that he turned to a complete retard and I believe it is rooted in mental illness from a couple incidents he has experienced leading to PTSD-like symptoms and not necessarily because he's a racist at heart, because he wasn't racist until after a little while after he had been in hospital and felt he needed protection.
