Ingroup prejudice targets the different and stems from ancestral fear, not threat of harm.

Evidence

Prejudices are also often expressed against certain members of one’s own ingroup—those who are physically, mentally, or socially different. It is unlikely that these prejudices spring from any fear of intentional harm, but a different theoretical perspective implies that they might be precipitated by a different form of fear rooted in our ancestral past (cf. Neuberg, Smith, & Asher, 2000; Stangor & Crandall, 2000). — Leonard S. Newman and Ralph Erber (eds.), Understanding Genocide, 502
