Different intergroup threats evoke different emotions, not a single unified response.

Evidence

Smith’s (1993) intergroup emotions theory proposes that different intergroup contexts lead to different emotional reactions. For example, outgroups that are seen as potentially taking away ingroup resources may elicit anger, whereas outgroups that are perceived to block the ingroup from obtaining desired resources may result in frustration. — Blake M. Riek, Eric W. Mania, and Samuel L. Gaertner, Intergroup Threat and Outgroup Attitudes, 139
