On the other hand, old attitudes can take a long time to die. Just because
you hate (metahuman group) more than you hate (human group) doesn't mean you
won't still hate (human group). "Me against my brother, me and my brother
against our cousins, me, my brother, and our cousins against the world."
And, of course, you don't need physical differences to drive prejudice;
witness the former Yugoslavia.
