    I think its something that comes from growing up and seeing behavior you think is negative from a certain group of people

    Thing is, most people don’t see any behaviour like this. There was a study that showed 90% of Arabs portrayed in Hollywood movies over the past 50 years were terrorists or radical islamists. Media overblows criminality in regions with immigrants and outright makes up nazi propaganda of there being “police-less ghettos” in Sweden or Germany. Crime rates are the lowest that they’ve been in Europe’s history, the reason why people don’t like immigrants is prevalently because of concerted efforts by a group of people with a lot of money to create racial tensions that they can later politically exploit.

      I remember this myself. All the movies I watched growing up had muslim terrorists. Or Russian. Because my country is mostly watching American movies.
