I blame it on upbringing, lack of exposure to other ethnicities and my own inability to really challenge the status quo.
Just to bring some more background, before he landed to Team Sky two years ago, Moscon was spending his spare time picking apples in his family farm in Trentino (region in the Eastern Alps).
Tractors are is biggest passion, yes, tractors. -
+1 to this. I think we all have a version of this story to tell.

I used to be relatively quite prejudiced and "racist" into my late teens. I blame it on upbringing, lack of exposure to other ethnicities and my own inability to really challenge the status quo. I startened listening to music that challenged these beliefs, went to university, moved to a big city - broadened my understanding of the world and now understand how idiotic And simple I was. Would I want people to judge me based my once held beliefs and acts that from 20 years ago without allowing for any change or enlightenment? No - that would be too closed minded wouldn't it.
However - Moscon is probably still as racist as he was prior to the sensitivity course. Slightly less so perhaps. But give people credit for having the ability to change.
