otherisation 

Used by the neuroscientist Kathleen Taylor to describe what happens when people are not included in their tribe; the others are commonly classed as beasts or subhumans.

Can be broadened towards separating people belonging to different religions or separating believers/non-believers, friends/not-friends
Those who carried out the final solution in Nazi Germany could only have done it by otherisation of the Jews.

otherish 

This is the true opposite of selfish. Synonymous with selfless.
A selfless person thinks less about himself. But there is still some "self" in that word we use. The best way to be selfless is to be otherish. That's a more descriptive word for where we really should focus our attention. And it is a positive rather than negative word.
