It is interesting in these series(incl: Young Sheldon), they are light entertainment, but delve into different areas. C. Lorre in one of his vanity cards, agrees with you
' I now see that human nature, particularly during times of stress, becomes tribalistic, not pluralistic. Which is neither good nor bad. It's probably just how we're wired, a survival mechanism baked into our DNA. Under pressure, the prime directive is to protect the tribe. Genetically, that makes perfect sense. Human beings without a tribe tend to starve or get eaten'.(#575)
I think Sheldon does think his intellect makes him superior, and he did bully Howard early on. I think they bully Zack, because although physical he isn't aggressive or smart enough to understand. But it was a different matter with Kurt, Sheldon decided it wasn't worth the risk.
