One must be "taught" to hate as the song goes in the musical "South Pacific." Taught by family, friends, and/or mass media. His parents for over 30 years have always refused to visit any blood and in-law relatives who live in Mexico.

I don’t think they are necessarily racist, but they fear the accusation. However, I was thinking of the less woke who put up with DEI training, but resist being labeled a racist or white supremacist.
