S/he was raised in an old fashioned family with unPC views leading her/him to be openly, verbally racist in their youth. However after talking to UnfairRepresent they changed their mind and are no longer racist, believing in equality and equal rights.

Could you date him/her or would their past be too much for you to overcome.?

People can change. Especially from youth. I mean when I was pre-teen I was super homophobic for some reason I can't even properly recall. Needless to say I matured a lot in high school, college, and after college and look back on that time with serious (and confused) shame. If a person has shown signs that they truly have changed, then they shouldn't be penalized for past beliefs.

People change their mind every day.

I know hundreds of people personally who have changed their religious views and know of thousands if not millions.

Half of the last generation in the west used to be homophobic and now aren't.

You're acting like reasonable discussion is meaningless unless it comes from a king. And that's just a stange stance.

I always forget racism is code for pure evil.

If the persons of same race, unless theyre loud and offensively racist, no one cares.

And they only care cause they might cost them their job being around them.

I am very pro-minority rights and anti-racist, but I do believe people can change and find peace in their hearts. So yes I would date someone who has genuinely changed if it's permanent and they show no signs of going back to the way they were.
