My dads pretty racist but I'm not. My mom doesn't like instrumental music and it's my favourite. Parents do have an influence on our worldview but that doesn't mean that we morally become mirror images of them.
Elvis was probably a nice guy to honkie journalists who would speak highly of him, but talk to Elvis while having a heavy tan or while dark and he'd probably try to break his guitar over your head for promoting integration. It's pretty much undeniable that Elvis was racist, just look at him and listen to his music.
