That isn't his "culture" doing that. I have a friend who is a "redneck" who grew up with religion, used to be a libertarian, but is now a flaming social and economic liberal. He loves country music and he is pale white.
Religion is the cause of this, he finds his bigotry from that book. The fact others use the same book to justify compassion does not change that. He reads that book finds words in it to justify his bigotry.
I love my friends on the left, but in their good intent of defending multiculturalism, they don't want to face that ALL religions do this. They all forget that those who are kind and those who act out in violence are still getting their morals from the same books with the same words.
