I disagree with this as it's a prejudgement with little to no knowledge about anybody's roots, circumstances, history, etc. It categorically puts people into boxes and is the flawed reasoning of racists, anti-semites, homophobes, and so on.
For example, Islamic terrorists aren't born terrorists. Some of them are born into the wrong family and fed hatred all their lives. Some had to live through hardships you and I can't even begin to imagine surviving. Others are bullied, ostracised, and made feel worthless only to find belonging and recognition in the only group that would listen to them and make them feel seen.
Ask yourself, if you grew up and had to go through the same things as some people, would you still be the you that typed what you typed?
Yes, some people have always been assholes and never changed, they do exist. I'm not denying that.
