That's the one, but more so at the concept that "us vs them" thinking can be 
tagged to a particular category of the human race or to a philosophic 
category. "Us vs Them" thinking is endemic to positively holding a point of 
view. I have the same reaction to this as the claim that there is something 
"dangerous" about "people who believe they are right" (which would suggest 
that there is something dangerous about people who seriously believe that 
there is something dangerous about people who believe they are right).
