Just wanted to chip in to say I think your core point was correct - the person who wrote the headline made a mistake in using the clickbait format “everyone ... except” which does erase other people’s experiences.

The most likely answer is just xenophobia, with hijabs, dastaars and yarmulkes being disliked because they mark the wearer as belonging to a different culture.
