As one quote from AC3 “we are cruel and desperate creatures”, also the book “the heart of darkness” talks about this kind of things apparently, but I just read the synopsis so I dunno for sure.
Basically, it is common to human beings to want to feel superior to their others, and in many cases they look into what differentiates them from their others, and may take those differences as bases for their superiority.
“I am better than you because my skin color is different (and therefore better) than yours”
“I am better than you because my religion is different(and therefore better) than yours”
“I am better than you because my lifestyle is different(and therefore better) than yours”
“I am better than you because my tastes are different(and therefore better) than yours”
And so on.
The thing is, when it comes to this, there are basically three kinds of people.
The ones who would impose their views and alienate anyone who disagrees, we know them as “racists”, “zealots” and many other names
The ones who would drop their views in order to not be alienated/shunned upon, like a homosexual who forces him/herself to be straight, or a homophobic who becomes accepting of homosexuality
And the ones who will not drop their views but will respect and tolerate those they hate, they will be their friends, but will always look at them with contempt silently
There are many variations of those but I think those three are the main.
No idea if I’m answering your question or if this is the kind of answer you wanted, but it’s kinda late for me so, boa noite.
