It's a thing I see here in the US all the time. I live in Chicago. Have friends and colleagues from nearly every corner of the globe.

For some weird reason, kids of immigrants can swing real hard towards hating other immigrants. It's pure selfishness. They're one of the good people. We shouldn't be letting in the dirty poors trying to move in now.

One lady I know moved here from Greece at 5. She has teenage daughters. Yuge Trump fan. I asked one time what she would do if one of her daughters dated a known serial sex abuser and rapist. She of course was horrified at the thought. So I then asked why she would vote for such a person as President. And that was different because he's trying to "fix things" like all the illegal immigrants coming here.

My former brother-in-law is the kid of Scandinavian immigrants. Also likes Trump. Also hates all the brown people immigration.

Chinese coworker. Nicest lady in the world. Hates immigrants with a passion.

Easily dozens more I could list. It's all anecdotal of course. But it's something about conservative people in general having a brain malfunction when it comes to empathy. Maybe science will figure out how to help them eventually.
