For 1), even modern liberal people still have racist-like prejudices which are not intrinsically different. We&#x27;re led to believe it&#x27;s wrong to discriminate based on race so we just transfer our discrimination to some other classification. Blacks are OK, but not if they&#x27;re from Africa. Indians are OK but not if they&#x27;re from India. Whites are OK but not if they&#x27;re from Syria, Irish are OK but not if they&#x27;re from Ireland. That is, racism has morphed into nationalism, which is widely acceptable so we feel it&#x27;s OK.<p>Similarly, homophobia has morphed into &quot;pedophobia&quot;. We can&#x27;t hate gays anymore but we&#x27;re plenty virulent at hating pedophiles. Just the same emotions transferred to another group.<p>Inside, most of us are still basically the same bigoted people, but we&#x27;ve restructured our bigotry to fit the popular modern values.
