Its interesting that we are discussing a famous poet from a bygone era when we juxtapose those works with what passes as wit in our modern era. Affinity for your own people over others has been the human condition for much of its existence. Even though we "know better", the conflicts we see in history and even today help me to at least understand why heterogeneity would not have seemed like the obvious or intuitive solution to our forebears.
