It goes hand in hand with believing you are superior to other races or nationalities. The same beliefs gave us Indian massacres, Black lynchings, the Holocaust and numerous other examples of genocide that continue today. The old us versus them will get passion stirred up to a degree that has to be seen to be believed.
A modern corollary is sports riots when opposing fans pour onto a field in mass mayhem. It's the old I'm better than you. My dog is better than yours. My team is better than yours. Things can quickly get down to animal behavior.

Many experts believe that watching sports is actually the civilized non violent outlet for men to release their natural male agression. Ever see men watching sports, they are crazy, getting all red screaming, jumping up and down.
