Hm. I think your judgement of OP's opinion is a bit harsh but I also find a lot of common ground here between us all.
Would it not be agreeable for us all to say that name-calling, stereotyping, and bigotry is morally reprehensible and should be avoided?
Regardless of how such and such specifically effects so and so, we can see that resorting to picking at someones race, creed, religion, sexual preference, or social status is a weak way to argue a point, offensive, demeaning, and frankly childish. Can we not all agree that these types of actions should be frowned upon in society? Can we not also agree that we have a moral obligation to rise above such behavior and set a better example?
This would be perfect, however bias would still remain within those who have had traumatic encounters with the aforementioned biased group. You can't just wish away bias in society. If such changes were to be fate, society as a whole would have to agree to and enforce this idea.

I think so.

Yeah, I'm for it. Mean people suck.
