Isn't evolutionary psychology about *genes* for behaviours common to all humans (as compared to behavioural genetics, which is about differences in behaviour linked to differences in genes) and not memes for behaviour? Is your view that memes for xenophobia thrive in the environment of human brains because such brains have evolved to think xenophobically? Or are you using "evolutionary psychology" to mean "the theory of memetics"? It seems to me that the way we approach these problems depends strongly how much situations depend on differences in memes rather than differences in genes.
