Never presume people from an immigrant background aren’t raging conservatives (which at times is pretty much near-Fascist).
The strong-man simping, self-centred asshole type of personality exists everywhere, for both genders.
Back when I was living in Britain during the Leave Referendum and working for a Startup in London, the only guy in the whole office who was pro-Leave was an Indian guy and judging by something his young son let slip before his father shut him up the guy was an Indian Nationalist (plus his father was a patent in the military), and people who see themselves as nationalist are usually Fascist or near-Fascist in my experience (certainly they’re “conservative”).
You’ll see similar thing in people from South America - they come in all sorts and that means some grew up in highly conservative environments and yearn for rightwing autoritarianism (just look at the love for Bolsonaro in Brasil).
Both “positive” presumptions about people from their ethnicity and origin (Israelis being a puignant example) and negative ones are Prejudice and hence judging others differently and acting towards them differently based on ethnicity is Discrimination and even Racism, even if a lot of people enacting the “benevolent” prejudice don’t see themselves as Prejudiced, Discriminatory and Racist.
Safest to just go around with the assumption that “We’re all the same and come in all kinds, good and bad”.
