 "Thinking like you" often meant repressing others that did not meet your ideals of being the correct race/religion/ethnicity/sex since they are inferior.

That's exactly what the puritans (aka pilgrim's) on the Mayflower thought.  They weren't exactly successful.  The owners of the Mayflower sold passage to others who did not hold the same strict beliefs which caused much discourse.  They didn't adhere to the strict rules of the puritans, such as no work or play on Sunday.
