15. That attitude is not uncommon

Some of the most racist and xenophobic people are children of immigrants, even some immigrants themselves. I've seen that in a lot of Cuban American republican politicians, people you would think would be more sympathetic towards immigrants.

Of course, there is Trump whose mother, grandparents, and two wives were all immigrants, though apparently they came from the non-shithole countries, so they're okay.

Years ago, I lived in a town that had a lot of 1st and 2nd generation Greeks and Italians. For many years they did everything they could to keep black people out of their neighborhoods. My landlord would rent to pretty much anyone, as long as they weren't African American (he was an immigrant). I can think of many more examples that I have personally encountered, but you get the idea. Not all immigrants are as tolerant and accepting as they would like people to be toward them. I still find it a bit bizarre.
