I think what happened is you grew up. I was brought up thinking my family were racist - Grandpa talking about coons and wogs, it was "funny" to crack racist jokes to your friends (which still are funny but most just bigotry). Growing up you start to meet different people, not just in your sheltered family & school environment you were used to, and you open your eyes.... true racist bigots are morons. They generally are the scum of society already without their added racism.
Have to admit though, through my upbringing I can expell some of the worst racist slurs in certain situations (driving a car). Having said that I also do it to the elderly (old bastard/wanker/twat etc), women (bitch/slag/whore) so i'm pretty obscene in general to everyone when i drive.
Maybe i have road rage.
