This is the case for most people. People change their opinions when they’re personally affected because first hand personal experience is as real as its going to get.
Anyone who has empathy can see how bad things are for others without going through it themselves though
But that’s a matter of perspective. Empathy as a concept is vague, subjective, and fluid.
Sure, but the definition is about putting yourself in others shoes. If someone said “let’s lock up all (ethnicity)” and you can’t imagine how shitty it is to be locked up due to ethnicity, then you got a problem
Sure, but let me give you the same example but in a different context.
Let’s suppose that instead of “let’s lock up everyone from this ethnic group”, a politician says “let’s stop illegal immigration”. Stopping illegal immigration is a perfectly rational, reasonable, moral stance to have. If someone hears the latter phrasing, they might take it at face value even if the politician really means the former. Thus, this individual has come to indirectly support the former even though they think they’re supporting the latter. The end result is the same because the politician’s intentions never changed, however, the morality of this individual is no longer as black and white as in your example.
