I can imagine scenarios where cannibalism is done purely for survival, not for any hateful reason. I can't imagine any valid context for antisemitism or any other kind of bigotry.

1. cannibalism can be a respectful and loving sacrament; see Stranger in a Strange Land, Catholicism

2. dude is sent to the rougher sort of prison, where the human demand for cognitive simplicity is given free rein and so you're in the gang of your race or you're meat; dude is white so he's in the Aryan Brotherhood; ta-da, anti-semitism done purely for survival

I...have issues with this framing. Even prison societies (very Foucault voice: and really, all society is a variant of a prison society) can arbitrarily decide on their cultural values and belief systems.
