You've chosen a couple of very specific examples here (coincidentally, the same ones often chosen by neo-nazis). There are many well-known examples of very similar peoples hating each other and leading to widespread violence, several of which are mentioned in the linked article.
Characterizing these as "good natured pranks" seems to deliberately miss the point in favor of reinforcing your priors.
