How to be less racist/bigotred? (lemmy.world)

So I am a part of the LGBTQ community and work in a big city in middle europe. A lot of my coworkers are religios and have a foreign background. They are mostly very nationalist and homo-/transphobic. I hate them for their blind hate and bigotry, which wont change. I have realised, that I have become a bit bigotred towards people like them in the last few months, which is, even tho my biases often revealed to be true, just unfair to them. How could I stop that?

OP is describing their own growing bias towards an ethnic group based on opinions they have encountered in a few of them. They want help with their own biases. This isn't really the kind of answer this post needs. It's becoming cliche.

I may have read it incorrectly but I didn't see anything about an ethnic group in OPs post. The only distinguishing factor they provided was "blind hate and bigotry". Which is not an ethnic group.

I think this where the bias settles in that he wants to remove.

Ok, yeah I can see that reading it again. Probably my own biases causes me to ignore that part initially. Thanks for pointing it out.
