That's because tribes of blue people used to have to compete for resources with the red people tribe. So it wasn't a good survival trait to immediately trust those who may have a vested interest in your removal.
Today's racism and nationalism and religious violence and so forth are all hold-overs from the more primitive centers of our ape brains that said that YOUR tribe was okay, but OTHER tribes were not. That stuff doesn't just go away because we have high speed railroads and satellites now. We just have to be conscious of its existence and careful not to succumb to it.
Many of us, however, do not put in the effort.
