and i do know that this sort of mindset is part of many mental illness, and a lot of physical ones, too. when dementia started to set in for my mom, she started being very critical in a racist way. she complained that her care givers talked in their own language and described an overweight african american nurse in a racial manner.
she was never like that in her lifetime till then.

i have seen that in others w dementia do the same.
and paranoia, of course, is a big part of many mental illnesses.
