Racism, ethnic hatred, polarity, rivalry, it's an us vs. them, divide and conquer natural human instinct. I hate to break it to you huggy John Lennon types but this is how humankind works. I know you want to rewrite history and say racism is an artificial construct of the modern era, but religious justification for slavery and the ethnic inferiorty of Africans goes back to the 15th century. The Romans were unbelievably racist. Chinese have always been extremely racist, the middle kingdom, the center of the universe.

Nationalism was constructed by the modern era to a small extent. But all it really is the divide and conquer shit started using advertising and a flag.
