A lot of people on 4chan justify racism, through the crime rate and dysfunction found in darker skinned communities and nations. They conclude genetic determinism (for a bunch of reason).

The books I mentioned talk about the 'nuture' side of the argument, along with how social environment, and economics affects demographics.

A lot of people are 'good' through the grace of a relatively decent childhood, adolescence, social environment and economy, supporting their will to goodness.

To reiterate, I'm not taking away agency, people are responsible for their own character development, ultimately. But we don't develop in a vacuum.
