Alien invasion is probably the only thing that would make (most) humans band together.

When you have giant spiders trying to eat everyone, people will stop caring that their neighbors leaves blew into their yard, or your skin tone is a few shades darker than someone else's.

    I think you underestimate the level of hatred some people have for various groups or individuals.

    Also it's pretty damned likely that there would be a contingent of people who would insist that we shouldn't fight back because we have it coming, that fighting will make things worse, that the aliens are working for God, or whatever.
