This "feel good crap" has an established causal relationship with lower instances of crime, lower abuse rates, and lower drop-out rates.

Do you have a reference? Is the effect larger on "hate" really that large? I would expect that proper education and job training might have a bigger effect on hostility toward immigrants than any sensitivity training.
