past and present that contradicts what they want to believe. Fwiw, I've read that many will reject their own behaviors if they're somehow made aware of them. They want to be good (they believe they are!), but reportedly most tend to be low in ability for self awareness.
One thing we know, all societies will always have members who are prone to excessive hostility toward change and differences, and need authoritarian leaders to obey. Bad leaders will always be able use their fears to incite great hostility in them and direct it against people who eat potatoes instead of pasta or those who live on the other side of the river. Race differences not needed.
