Hopefully the more bigots are shown their backwards thinking is not wanted within the ranks of things like the police or military or politics, the less likely they are to join them until their cancerous thinking is killed off. Maybe a bit optimistic, but dare to dream.
I think that as a rule inclusion is always much more effective tool for reaching understanding and improvement.

Except that whenever these things come up you don't see the police generally coming forward to do something about it. The institution as a whole has a history of protecting the dickheads in the force. We can't even get the institution to admit it has systemic issues with racism and bigotry.
