It doesn't address how to change their minds, just that it doesn't end with racism. I don't care that there's a reason beyond.

Then you won't be able to engage & change minds. Understand first. Go from there. 1 example using Haidt. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/02/the-simple-psychological-trick-to-political-persuasion/515181/ …

you don't think I've tried the empathetic approach? They simply do not care about them. At all.

I'd suggest you're doing it wrong. It works for other people! See the studies! We're all human. All have empathy.
