Some thoughts.
Group identification and conflict is rife in any population that views itself as having fewer opportunities than others or less opportunities than it deserves.
Racism, genderism, religious intolerance and the like are not the vestige of the Republican or Democratic parties.
Group conflict, whether driven by racism, social class, or any other dimension, has serious and very negative consequences for any society.
Think of yourself as an American and human-being first, then worry about other sources of identity. Act in a way that makes diversity a plus in your life.
