When I lived in Sweden, I noticed a lot of the 2nd generation immigrants from the middle east behaved very similarly to black and latino people I knew from back home in the US. Very different styles, petty crime, boisterous behavior that stood out in a crowd, etc. I wondered why it was so similar, even though all the cultures involved were completely different. The other thing that puzzled me was that Sweden has a nearly infinitely superior social safety net to the US. So why, despite free education, job training, and plenty of resources to get a foothold, did these people lash out like many minorities in the US? My aha moment was that it just had to do with being a minority culture. That's all it is. When a group's culture norms and values are not accepted/tolerated by the majority, the minority group has a hard time being a part of society. Even in a peaceful, tolerant place like Sweden. It helped me open my own eyes as a white man, and now I can see this sort of thing playing out all around me. It's also universal, no matter when you go to in the world. There is one major and rather sad exception though: when a white person or group is the minority in a place, it is not likely they will experience the same effects. Whiteness, and white culture seems to be universally desired (at least from my limited experience).
