These first chapters also have the "us against them" mentality. In the very beginning it is said that the new king of Egypt knew not the men of Israel and they made them work, stressing the values that would have large complications and results throughout history. My two favorites would be The Holocaust and The Crusades.
The Holocaust would have found it easier to target jews as they would often live in all jew or mostly jew neighborhoods. (This behavior is of course not exclusive to them, after all we see this in many human groups, including black and white neighborhoods or places like Chinatown, where chinese immigrants concentrate).
The Crusades can be described as taking a step beyond the "us and them" frame of mind, to "if they are against Us because they are Them, then we should convert them and make them Us, therefore neutralizing the threat".

Chinatowns have a particular history. I'll trust you to look into to it.
