Individual frustration and organized persecution are distinct phenomena.

Evidence

At the individual level, momentary frustrations, such as threats to self-esteem, can exacerbate derogation of outgroups (Fein & Spencer, 1997) and daily frustrations can lead individuals to respond disproportionately to minor provocations, especially by outgroup members (Miller, Pederson, Earleywine, & Pollock, 2003). However, such individual-level processes must be distinguished from collective processes; whereas the former explain when individuals are likely spontaneously to act on their prejudices, the latter explain when frustrations lead to organized persecution of outgroups. — John F.
