This is the ideal, but there are still people walking around who can't get past the idea that skin color doesn't dictate how human you are. These same people are also prone to thinking that anyone with a vagina is inherently less intelligent... followed by gay people are bad..... for some reason? Now trans people are also bad... for reasons? Then they justify it with outdated and/or straight up pseudo science so they feel good about their beliefs.

Trying to communicate complex issues with people who think like that is very difficult since they aren't functionally operating from a foundation of reason or logic to begin with. It takes immense amounts of patience and grace to get through to even a few people like that and it's not something many people have.
