Nativism is an endemic poison in settled culture. Nobody is immune. I grew up close to the Bangladesh border and grew up being taught to think of "them" as a somehow subhuman presence in India though only 50 years earlier they'd been part of the same country...

I'd even go so far as to say that nativism is the first and original ideological sin, ahead of isms like fascism and communism. Cf: Daniel Quinn's Ishmael where Cain (farmer) killing Abel (herder) is allegorically and imo correctly interpreted as settlers vs nomads.
