Kind of similar to the whole ‘racism is learned behavior’ thing, like small children are generally not racist unless the parents are really proactive about making them be racist.
At least in America, racism is so prevalent and core to our society that I’d never attribute racism in small children solely to bad parenting. Racism and misogyny are driven in part by exposure to… well, just about every part of American culture. Parents can try to course-correct, but (especially white) parents may not have the tools or language to adequately educate their children in the face of cultural indoctrination.

Yeah it’s a learned behavior, but there are sources to learn from outside of parental figures
