This is a danger because the belief of superiority creates conflict, tension, and isolation. David's father believes that "normal" is within a narrow definition. All "other" people must be expelled or exterminated. We see this similar ideology throughout the world even today. Acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing are examples of when superiority and intolerance is left to fester.
