In the big picture, culture progresses towards equality over time, although it see-saws and moves very slowly relative to a human lifespan. Small minorities of hate groups, for example KKK, are not able to influence society in the long-run because their message is antithetical to this natural imperative. Whereas advocacy for racial minorities, gender minorities, and feminism progresses over time.

I think that might be wishful thinking.

It is privileging 200 of history verses several thousand years of human history.

Several thousand years of human history in fact argues for their point of tendency towards equality being a natural imperative, and artificially enforced caste systems being unnatural and instinctively distasteful to people.

Nothing says "instinctively distasteful caste systems" like the ongoing meat grinder in Gaza. Truly the pinnacle of humanity's natural drift toward equality.

The majority of people are horrified when they become aware of what's happening in Gaza. Personally I think a large majority of those that support it are sheltered from the reality of it, e.g. avoid seeing images of assassinated children.
