Yes. As I acknowledged, there is a difference between the phrases.
But since either phrase is intended as an insult to a group of people, and very
closely related insults, at that, I am shocked that you would bother trying to

As someone who claims to be concerned with people's ability to "play well" with
each other, you should be ashamed of yourself.
