You can see that in small children already: 'you can be my friend but not you'. One neighborhood against the other, town against town, country against country. Men against women. Tribe against tribe. Race against race. Different social classes against each other. Heterosexuals against gays.
Part of this fear is biology-driven and has a useful function. But we humans are not only biological creatures.
