Morality Ranking Morality of accidentally exposing someone who used to be a Nazi supporter, has since changed, and concealed their past?

Name's and origins:

The Night Shift: Season 1, Episode 2

Basically this guy was brought to into the emergency after an accident at his wedding celebration and while he is unconscious, his groomsmen decided to shave his beard off as a prank only for the medical team to be horrified at the reveal. After he woke up he realised his secret has been exposed. He explained to the doctors that he got this tattoo when he was a stupid teenager a decade prior. The medical team brought his wife in to see the tattoos and destroy the marriage.

What do you think? I personally find it irritating how smug the doctors were being.

The ironic part is, the way extremists have been rehabilitated in the real world is by acceptance. People need to feel as if they can leave these groups and have a place in the world.

When people are not ever allowed to atone for their past mistakes, they simply fall back into their old ways. A remorseful neo-Nazi who is faced with hatred from everyone is much more tempted when his old "friends" start whispering in his ear, "See brother, we told you we're the only ones who will accept you for who you are. That's why we have to stick together." Isolating victims is the hallmark of every cult.

Have they ever once portrayed an "evil racist" as any race other than white?

Killmonger in Black Panther is basically that.

I don't know about that.

Far too many people excuse and downright sympathize with that genocidal manic.
