Oh...I dunno.
Consider. My mother grew up in the segregated south of the 40's and 50's. She about flipped out when my father brought her north and a black woman sat next to her at the J.J. Newberry's lunch counter. It was out of the realm of anything that she had known. So, she could easily have raised me to be a little ku-kluxer...but, to her credit, she didn't. Her grandfather, I have no doubt (though it's never been confirmed to me) was a clansman. That would've been the 1920's...the very height of the KKK. Back when it was... respectable to belong. And, that was one racist old man.
Times...and attitudes...change. It just takes time.
