To say it's "complex" seems to justify the kind of raw bigotry you see in KKK/neo-nazis/"alt-right". People on the conservative side might say:
• "I'm sick of SJW libtards telling me what to do"
• "we're losing out jobs because of immigrants/others"
• "we're losing our culture to immigrants/others"
The gamut runs from bald-faced lies to legitimate grappling with the inequities and isolation of modern life. None justify bigotry, which exists only to actively and passively cause people harm. Having an articulate and unifying vision of why this kind of hatred should be rejected is valuable and appropriate.
