personally I think it hinges on experiences and interactions. I mean I could say the same about myself and my religion or other religions. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people on the forums make unfair judgements or opinions about a group of people because of their own bad experience. Sometimes it is called out, sometimes it isn't Sometimes there is an apology and sometimes there isn't.
The more personal positive experiences and interactions between people the better. Sure book reading helps and is important.
No, I'm not talking about education as in books i'm talking first hand education you see in media all over in today's society. Like in America we now have tv commercials with gay couples, tv shows with tons of gays and poc, trans people are getting more and more representation, poc are in more places in the media we consume than ever before. Yet there is still a LARGE amount of bigots still disgusted by people different than them. So is that not enough to normalize it for them? They need to see it in person? Then that becomes a THEM problem. You have to put yourself out there to learn those things if it's not something you're used to. And i'm sorry but someone's skin color isn't something that other people need to get used to, it's skin FFS that's just ridiculous. It comes from a place of hate and if you're that hateful of a person you can actually look down on someone because of the color of their skin then you probably aren't going to be putting yourself in a situation to learn.
