People fear change. If they aren't directly affected by something, most people just can't relate. Think of Nancy Reagan, she is pro stem cell research because that offered the best hope for her husbands disease. Or Dick Cheney, he is pro gay rights because his daughter is gay. Most people just can't see beyond their own experience so they can't relate. And they'll argue it back and forth because they think people should lighten up. Consider the outrage on Reddit when a black cop shoots a white person, the outrage is nuts. Just realize most people can't or choose not to consider the position of other people. It's something we need to be continue to communicate. Native American issues are hard for people in the Northeast because most people don't know anNative American. If they were to take a trip to Plimoth Plantation and meet Phillip or any of the actual people, they might see things differently.
