I am currently reading Mark Barnes "Why We Ride." In the lecture about "Motorcycle Camping," he talks about how we divide into "us versus them" groups. (Road, track, dirt; HD, Asian; cruiser, sport bike, adv bike, dual sport; etc.) I don't think he mentioned Helmet vs not.
My earlier convoluted post about waving to those we might not befriend was about this, I guess. All of those divisions disappear and everyone waves where I ride.
I think that is because the divisions are largely personal, in our heads, but not in reality filled with any animosity. Speaking for myself anyway, I don't understand why people like things I don't, but we are all part of the motorcycle world and I like everyone feeling the connections more than the disconnects!
