I'm still failing to see how the amygdala is related tbh. Yes they need therapy and education don't really see where brain parts come into this.
Anyway struggling to find the a study that dictates specifically a dysfunctional amygdala but I did find this https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/the-amygdala-and-fear-are-not-the-same-thing.html
I'm cautious about trying to tie people's body parts to ideology, society or learned behaviours
I brought it up because knowing how the brain works is important to addressing these things. By pointing out how certain learned behaviors can be directly tied to certain brain functions you give people a deeper understanding of themselves. When taught that their reaction to minorities is an irrational response brought about by their brain, they can learn to ignore these feelings.
I understand why you're hesitant to draw these connections though. psychology is a field of science that the Nazis heavily abused to their own genocidal ends but that does not invalidate the field in its entirety.

That article you linked is not an academic research paper. Here's a better one on the phenomenon.
