People can overcome their bigotry. The all-time classic change in POV is the late George Wallace. George Wallace ran for the governorship of Alabama on a platform of, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever" (14 January 1963). When he was Born Again in 1979, he apologised to the Civil Rights leaders he had terrorised and sought their love and forgiveness on the steps of the first Alabama schoolhouse to be desegregated - albeit at gunpoint. His speach ended with, "I was wrong.  Those days are over, and they ought to be over."

You may not believe it, but people were EXPECTED to have these attitudes at the time. Nathan's friendship with Miranda and Jennette would have been considered at best unseemly and at worst slutty in that era.
