> Favoring those "in your tribe" over those "outside your tribe" is a classical, deeply embedded social norm.
Some of us dream of a world where we rise above some of our baser monkey instincts.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."
In any case, my tribe is not defined by where I happened to be born.
> In any case, my tribe is not defined by where I happened to be born.
When push comes to shove and your security is threatened, it'll be Iowans and Nebraskans that go to war to fight for your security, not Indians or Chinese...
(Not that an Indian or Chinese person cannot be an Iowan or Nebraskan, obviously).

It will more likely be Texans and Arkansans.

I live in Italy, not the US, so no, it won't be Iowans and Nebraskans. Or maybe they will be. Who knows.
Also: you seem awfully sure that the US will not be involved in threatening my security. I'm pretty sure of that too, but not 100% sure.
