That's modern-day Tribalism. Very, very few people- the world over- ever think to break ranks from those who look like them or live on the same piece of real estate as them. That is ancient breeding. Slowly but surely, people are realizing that the Human Race is their Tribe, not the sub-tribes. We need an alien invasion like Independence Day with Will Smith.
But, seriously, with the advent of the Internet, we may make bigger steps to live more harmoniously. Once people truly learn, and pass it on, that "evil" is relative and not aesthetic, then we might evolve into a species that shares and shares through the compulsive instinct,
not government coercion or force. Government needs humans to be divided and tribal so it has a purpose and a future.
