Why should your behavior be unaffected? If you want to spend time evaluating a person on their own merits, surely you still can.

Just because I'll be able to do something doesn't mean that I will. I can resolve to spend time evaluating people based on their own merits all I like, but that's no guarantee at all that the resolution will last.

You seem to think that anti-bigots evaluate people on their merits more than bigots do. Why?

If you're looking for a group of people who are more likely to evaluate people on their merits, you might try looking for a group of people who are committed to believing true things.
