I agree with you but I think that it is just part of human nature. It is human nature to identify with groups, and view with suspicion anyone not in that group. This happens with race, class (poor vs. rich), religion, language, geography, anything you can point to as "different". It is as old as history. And politicians actively exploit this flaw in our collective character to create "us against them" reasons to engender support. So rather than try to achieve a world where no prejudice exists, it's probably more realistic to recognize it in ourselves and others when it happens, and try to look past it.
