“In the current study, researchers statistically controlled for race, age and gender, but introduced a story that primed participants to dislike some of the people they were observing: half were presented as neo-Nazis, and half were presented as likeable and open-minded. All study participants recruited for the study were Jewish males.”
— The study itself found that “liking or disliking a person can affect how your brain processes actions” but I think that part above is the best.
