There's a very good chance you're correct, of course. I suppose my comment was just my general hopeful optimism coming out. Really, though, how does one actually "deprogram" someone with opinions like this? Can it actually be done? Casual racists are a toxic population whose opinions and behaviors in favor of said racism bring no value to society. How on earth do we eliminate it? I used to think that the steamroller of progress and information would gradually eliminate racism and sexism and denial of science and logic as older generations died out, but the rise of the next generation of racists and MRAs and flat earthers seems to be a fairly strong counterpoint to that. I fear for the future of humanity.
