  Anecdotally, it would seem so.

  I think it depends on the root of the hatred. An awful lot of hatred comes from ignorance, and when people dispell the ignorance, the hatred follows.

  But sometimes the hatred is so fundamental to someone’s lived experiences that even if it’s obviously wrong, it’s absolutely true to them. In those cases, I suspect it would be harder to let go of it.
