Pretty much every intolerance worth opposing harnesses very violent elements in it's base while maintaining a veneer of civility.

Look at religious motivated systemic violence against LGBT people in the US. Our current executive has waved a rainbow flag a time or two, but our vice president has personally funded things that look like camps and penned legislation that let's police ignore and LGBT person being beaten on the street. Neither of these things are particularly unfair characterizations.

So yeah, you're right. It's just that intolerance naturally leads to violence rather quickly in humans.
