Removing a species' us vs. them and cliquishness mentality would also remove its desire to be a "team player" and significant amounts of social cohesion. That would not be good long term, IMO.
Mob mentality is the dark side to fundamental aspects of necessary "herd" behavior, again IMO.

I think a better way to decrease intolerance is by having ways in which such upset or disenfranchised individuals could affect their surroundings without always feeling like they're being bullied by the majority.
How to do with that without such effect being more intolerance... I'm at a loss to imagine.
