There's some of that, sure. But see the Civil Rights protest photos above. Those were dirty N-words getting beaten, attacked, and firehosed. And the white allies among them were dirty N-lovers.
Yet....it resonated. Slowly, just by causing some initial discomfort. But it builds.
Sure, the gal in the clerical collar is just a dirty lib, to their lizard brain....at first, when they are trying to rationalize it. But it's also...a person who looks like them, in a clerical collar. Not being violent, yet being hosed or hit with pepper spray. It sticks in the brain, and won't go away.
Make the evil bastards commit their atrocities in daylight, for all the world to see. The Nazis knew that was a problem. It's why they didn't just round up jews and slaughter them in the street where they found them. That would have been too much, and might have turned public sympathy against them. Ship them off, kill them by the trainload behind walls, hidden from view. Nope, you gotta make the Nazis go nazi in broad daylight, where everyone can see them. That's how you win.
