I think that you have grown a lot in the past three years or so that I've been reading your posts. I think it is commendable that you are trying to open yourself up to new information and a new perspective.

I grew up in a pretty diverse city and neighborhood and majored in political science so I am/was probably more exposed to these issues than you, but you're trying. I think that is a step in the right direction.
