They could be, but there is a much lower threshold to manipulate people who are close-minded. Almost everyone I've encountered who repeats racially charged headlines is LESS likely to have much personal experience with the people they feel so strongly about, even to the point of avoiding encounters with those people.

It's not that interesting. Manipulation was targeted at people more susceptible to it.

I expect that most racism/sexism/bigotry generally comes from prior manipulation too.
