Why are you assuming that racists don't have enough exposure to other races? In many places, the problem is that white people believe that they have too much exposure to black people.

So people in favor of a less racist society should try to use statistics and "controls" (whatever this means) to convince easily agitated, simple-minded racists that they should be more tolerant?

You're using a lot of fancy words to basically assert that uppity, whiny Negros should just be patient and wait for the hateful racists die out.
