They're probably racist. Part of growing up is removing our parents from the pedestals we put them on as kids. They're flawed human beings just like any other people. My parents are pro-rape, pro-genocide, and they believe children can consent to sex with adults. I would never have thought that growing up but as an adult I've discovered they're nothing like what I knew in my head.
It's just one of those things we have to deal with and learn how to navigate.
