People are expected to learn not to be racists and sexists growing up. Those who don't learn then are rarely reformable but at least they can learn to be silent

- potatoineyes 5y agoNo, this is wrong. I leart the exact opposite as an adult. Grew up and didn't even need to be told bot to be racist sexist, etc. I just assumed it as the default norm. As an adult I examined the evidence available to me, and eas exposed to liberal sided arguements against these things. Over and over and over again. This convinced me that being racist, sexist, etc was actually factually correct, and in my, and societies best long term interest (excluding those people in the wrong groups of course). It's exposure to people who think like you that went a long way towards persuading me of this.
