One problem with "history makes bigoted of us all" is that it tends to assume that history was monotone - that there was a monolithic bigoted historical view at a given time. This is often dramatically untrue and it's important to understand the nature of historical changes and the people who were there in the 18th or 19th century or whenever condemning the things that one is tempted to write off as merely "a product of the times".

No, of course some people were well well beyond their own time in their views. But given enough time, and enough knowledge about the person, I can guarantee you that in at least some ways, everyone was or will be behind the times in other areas.

Look at the suffragettes. Who held the radical view that women should be permitted the same political power as men. Unthinkable at the time.

Then look at their opinion on the black voter?

Ok, so now look at the black suffragettes... and ask them their opinion on gay ppl?

There is no perfect person, and everyone will be left behind by history as society advances. Best we can hope for is that it happens AFTER we're dead, and not while we're still alive like JKR.
