The thoughts are already there, the alcohol essentially acts as an agent to bring out these thoughts. But its not like they don't have these feelings already, they are simply supressing them. So while you can argue they'd never do these things sober, I simply think there's a barrier of fear (being labeled a racist is a tough one to overcome) that seems to disappear with alcohol. Similarily, if there was no fear of being outed as a racist, I think you'd see those people acting more racist.
Ultimately we'll never agree on this, so arguing back and forth seems pointless.

Considering some of the outrageous things I've read
you say sober, I'd be fascinated to hear what you are like drunk, when the
real you comes out.
