I don't believe that they are by nature hateful or purposefully discriminative people; they just grew up with a narrow-minded battery of beliefs.

I try so hard to believe that people are basically decent, but it's just getting more and more difficult. Here in Australia we've seen an alarming upsurge in racism over the past few years. The racism has been actively promoted by conservative politicians and the media, and it's almost as if now that it seems to be socially acceptable to be racist once again more and more people are embracing it. Back in the 80s and 90s Australia was a remarkably tolerant society, but that seems to be a thing of the past. I can't tell you how depressing it is.
