I don't think that's an excuse in the case of some of the bigotted behavior as I don't think an average person can be ignorant enough to not feel visceral empathy at the sight of suffering.
Even a racist would feel something at the sight of someone being beaten by police begging for their mom they choose to ignore the fact they know better in situations like that
Exactly. Going out of your way to be bigoted means you have consciously chosen the side of oppression. There’s a huge difference between being acting on hatred and having unexamined prejudice.
