"Eradicating any kind of bigotry is, by definition, an unreasonable expectation -- because institutional bigotry is deeply entrenched. Prejudice is ancient. Only a fool would imagine it can be overcome.
"Except, of course, that it can be. Bit by bit. Particle by particle. Teaspoon by teaspoon. Person by person. Prejudice is ancient, but it dies with its every carrier and must be taught again. And it can be unlearned. Bit by bit. Particle by particle. Teaspoon by teaspoon. Person by person."
