A lot of that is due to this "blank slate" idea of humans. All bias, instincts, gut reactions, etc is all learned behaviour, and if we just changed culture it would all go away. (Not that I agree with that)

But they also assume culture will just change in the way they want as opposed to having to be changed. That is probably the larger mistake.
