08/21/2007: "Groups don't fight when not in competition"

A U.S. researcher says experiments show fighting, hating and contempt between groups is not a necessary part of human nature.

People join groups to find a place of trust and security. She says when people are secure about their own identity and that of their group, and there is no competition for resources, conflict is not normally a problem.

[ Multiculturalism creates this tension, thus creates racism. No multiculturalism, and people trade and interact normally. But force them together, in inherent competition for cultural supremacy, and the hate really starts. Stop multiculturalism now! ]
