Unfortunately, in-group preference is like a primal instinct. People will pretty much always (sub)consciously treat you differently if you are different. This is why I prefer not to work for companies where everyone is "like family". They tout a "strong company culture" but, to me, it sounds more like "if you aren't one of us, we'll find a way to fire you".

Someone had a great quote that I'm going to screw up big time here, but it was something like, "Every civilization is invaded by barbarians, they're called children." Now as a parent it is amusing, but I belive the quote really was intended to note how children aren't born making good decisions or making decisions that support a community or civilization. Rather they must be taught to resist the negative instincts in order to maintain society.
