OP is describing their own growing bias towards an ethnic group based on opinions they have encountered in a few of them. They want help with their own biases. This isn't really the kind of answer this post needs. It's becoming cliche.
Being religious or homophobic isn't a ethnic group. OP is basically growing a hatred for bigoted/sexist/xenophobic people because they're forced to interact with them on a regular basis, which sucks for sure :-(
You have no reason to believe that. That's a nice interpretation but all you heard is "People like them". It's uncomfortable to say they are stereotyping based on race. But that's probably what's going on.
Why else would you look for advice? "I don't like bigots, what do I do?" I guess if that's the only problem you are equipped to talk about then better to stick to it. I'm trying to help someone navigate out of bigotry because that's the more important interpretation.
I may have read it incorrectly but I didn't see anything about an ethnic group in OPs post. The only distinguishing factor they provided was "blind hate and bigotry". Which is not an ethnic group.
I think this where the bias settles in that he wants to remove.
Ok, yeah I can see that reading it again. Probably my own biases causes me to ignore that part initially. Thanks for pointing it out.
