JustifiABLE Biasing?

How fair and natural it is to be partial and biased?
2 guys fighting it out real hard on the grass tennis court. You passionately supporting the guy in red. Most likely reasons of you doing so would be that maybe you two are from the same land or region or family... (or maybe because you like his eyes!!!). Seldom do people devotedly support the better of the two players.
Is it rationally, morally and ethically right and justified? If yes, then doesn't favoritism of any kind also fall under this category of pseudo-warranted act. Why do we stand up against the bunch of people who discriminate against another bunch that doesn't belong to their group? Be it caste, color, ethnicity, religion or any association one favors his/her core group over others naturally.
Should we assist this natural feeling or curb it to make humanity the only group? Or is humanity also a selfish group and we should treat all living beings as kindred? Or is it that we just don't know where to draw the line?
