    If you are asking if a racist can become less racist, yes, but only if they spend time around people of other races often (and is willing to be open minded)

    I’ll tell you that, if I didn’t immigrate to the US, and I was in China, I’d probably be very xenophobia against non-Chinese people, due to the lack of exposure to other people.

    So in this timeline, I’m a Social Democrat that is accepting of LGBT+ people and people of other races.

    In the other timeline, the one in which I did not immigrate to the US, who knows, maybe I’d be some Han-Supremacist Chinese-Nationalist?

    When I think about stuff like the multiverse and stuff, its kinda unsettlling how different the diverging timelines could be.

    I mean, there are probably “racist” versions of yourselves in another timeline, just saying. 👀
