Oftentimes I hear that well, bigotry is a result of a person's environment, and that you have to change their material conditions, etc.. but, that takes decades and requires you to rely on the government to do it, which feels a bit hopeless. If someone were to create a strategy to make faster change, what would be the most pragmatic and evidence-based approach to this topic?

how does someone who grew up in a casually racist environment change? Most of the stuff I've seen seems to be: "they have to go on a personal journey of transformation and growth" or "They need to spend time in an environment with people who're different" - which is fine, but still seems reliant on luck and your environment. is there anything more rigorous than this on this topic? My impression from researching psychology at least is that there isn't and that it's all up in the air, is that correct?

I apologize if the question is a bit incoherent.
