Are people inherently tribalistic?

its really a very big tribe, and has many important countries. congrats. its valid to be proud.

That wasn't really my point...not everything I say is racially charged, even though you obviously see me that way. It was merely a philosophical comment.

Ok but i was not making fun of you, i was serious. and i agree with the thought behind your comment, and if there are alien civilisations probably earthlings will stick together too.

I know you weren't, but I get the feeling you think I hate all non-whites. That's probably my fault for my at times inflammatory comments, but it's not true.

And you're right. In the face of an alien threat, our racial differences will no doubt seem inconsequential.

In times of huge supercities like Berlin, Paris, London - tribalism means nothing. The only sense of tribalism they get is through team oriented sports.
In the smaller towns and villages in Europa tribalism is rather fierce.
