    Tell me if I wrong but if you show that won’t there also be a positive effect for people who need that last bit of push to finally see it?

      You are thinking of reasonable people.

      Only changing when it personally affects them is confirmation that positive reinforcement doeson’t work on bigots. Shame barely kept them from being publicly shitty for a couple of decades, but that was more than positive reinforcement.

          Yes, hardcore bigots would have. These are everyday normal bigots who probably shifted on one personal issue and otherwise still hold onto the rest of their shitty views.
