White nationalists, race realists, etc., make a lot of appeals to "the facts" that confirm "what you've always truly suspected."
But if you haven't always truly suspected those things, well, that appeal doesn't work, does it.

That's confirmation bias. People with established prejudices can be prone to it, and will seek evidence that affirms those prejudices.

But this isn't specific to any particular group. It's easier to spot when people ignore or outright dismiss evidence counter to their views.

on any question it's worth pressing, 'how many black people have you actually talked to, ever?' 'how many women have you asked about this?'

The thing is, you do not like them or you're afraid of them. Because being afraid of something takes away the posibility of understanding it
