I know from personal experience, my grandfather was a mean and nasty person and a vocal racist. He died and he's not missed much. The family didn't adopt his views or values and I'm happy to have friends and family that are accepting of all races, sexes, and sexual orientation.
That movie Monster's Ball shows kind of what you're talking about. It was about three generations of a racist family, and it was being filtered out down to the youngest family member -- and mostly by outside means from society.
