Culture continually changes with education. It used to be culturally acceptable to burn people at the stake for being witches. It used to be culturally acceptable to enslave people based on their skin color. You can go on and on with this list.

In my opinion, a defeatist attitude enables these bad behaviors because defeatism ultimately means acceptance of the wicked.
