People without prejudice can still participate zealously in genocide

Evidence

There are unwanted strangers in any society, and in any society there are some people who wish such strangers not to be there; but it is not in any society that a genocide of the unwanted strangers can take place. The presence of a quantity of Jew-haters is not the only, not even a necessary, and certainly not a sufficient condition needing to be met to make that genocide a possibility. — Zygmunt Bauman, Modernity and the Holocaust, 702 (#expands, via linked claim)
