>This doesn't make it any "better", actually much worse, but this is not "in tech".

Technically it is because it's in their profession. If you're involved in major tech company there is a likelihood that you're going to have to deal with the gov't.

>What I find both shocking and curious about racism is that it is a much more widespread problem...

Many, if not most people, need to feel some sense of superiority over another individual. It starts with race but does not end there for them. Had Nazi Germany removed or killed Jews, gays, socialists, Christians, etc. they would have found some reason to hate each other.

Nazi Germany was doing this on a whole different level and for different reasons... in their own twisted way, they were actually believing they were doing humanity a favor by cleansing it. There were even scientists there backing all their "race theories".

So, that specific rabbit hole goes much, MUCH deeper than you think.
