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.
