I learned in today’s portion of the Daf Yomi (page of Talmud, Moed Katan 6b): Rabbi Shimon Gamliel said: “One brings dirt from this ant hole and places it in that ant hole, and the ants choke each other to death.”
According to Rashi: “When the ants smell foreign soil, they panic and kill each other.”
The same dynamic occurs among people. Put two different people in one location and the result will be conflict until one group strangles the other.
As Jared Taylor wrote about the history of race relations in the United States: “And this is the story of the conquest of the continent. The intentions of whites—sometimes good, often bad—really did not matter. The fundamental fact is that one people had the land, and another, more advanced and powerful people wanted the land. The result was dispossession, and even now, despite a great deal of intermixing, Indians are a distinct people with a distinct identity that shows how difficult assimilation is across racial lines, even after 400 years. Race relations mean conflict.”
