ALL the scenarios you mentioned above apply. The fact that you cannot seem to grasp that probably indicates that you are outside all of those groups, and have never experienced what I stated (in plain English) in my original post. Let me give you an example from my own experience - I am of sub-continental heritage, and my family migrated to Australia over 3 decades ago. It has been 99.999% a fantastic life and I embrace the great life and great people here. But a few years back there were a few high profile cases of young Indian men brutally raping women in India, and other places. The mass media latched onto this and immediately went into portraying any man of Indian descent as being a brutal rapist in waiting. I felt that societal change. Almost overnight, I noticed people move away from me when I entered a store. There was a measured difference in the hostility I experienced when talking to people I didn't know. Young women would cross the street when they saw me approach, and cross back after I had passed. Observing these changes DID cause a rage to boil up inside me. How could someone who didn't even know me as a person judge me by the actions of others. I had done everything I could to integrate and embrace this new world, but for the first time ever, I felt unwanted and that my presence was causing discomfort for those around me. It never got to the extent of projecting that hurt and anger at anyone else, nor would I, because that is not in my nature. Thankfully the media lost interest in that narrative fairly quickly, and people now treat me in an open friendly way as before. But if those negative perceptions were perpetually front and centre in the media, and I had to bear the brunt of it for an extended period then I really don't know how my ultimate reaction would have manifested itself.
