I feel I’m becoming racist and I don’t want to be.

For context, I live in Saudi Arabia, and we have a lot of expats from a certain country. I have started to develop a negative view of them. For example, today I saw a person littering when there's literally a trash can five meters away. Yesterday another one cut in line, and, to be honest, almost every time I smell body odor it turns out there's one of them standing near me.

I try not to blame them and to be sympathetic because they usually come from a less fortunate background, but, to be honest, in Saudi we have a lot of people from Yemen who come from even less fortunate backgrounds, and I do not experience the same things with them.
