From my perspective, the "demon" created the system, and the "angel" ended it (same function, good and bad side of the same archetype).
I've been thinking of this sort of thing recently, and I would think that the bad side of Fi in creating/maintaining racism came from "immature" Fi. Meaning, these were TJ types with Fi as tertiary or inferior. It was really supporting their Te agenda of domination, and the society that grew out of this is heavy Te, as many acknowledge. (Only now, it has substituted financial discrimination for racial, but that's a whole other discussion).
The move to end racism would be the more mature "heroic" or "parental" Fi.
The only reason why I started my Fi thread is because I want to understand it better. At least, that was before a bunch of people took it over, derailed it, and now I'm even more confused than before.
The idea that white is the superior race and that other races ought to be oppressed came from Fi?

Of course.
It's an opinion that is based on feeling.
It may be backed up by Thought.. but it is a value of White over All Else

Whoever said Fi was benevolent?
Wrong!! You'd see "Drnkng ountan"!
I think if you really look at the root of racism, you'll see that there's a lot more to it than a "feeling-based opinion."
And as much as I enjoy belittling the logic of Fi-ers, it's kind of an oversimplification to imply that Fi and feeling-based opinions are equivalent.
And trust me honey, you'll rarely see me using the word "benevolent" to describe Fi, even if Fi-motivated opinions aren't the cause of racism.
Honey? Why so catty?
Explain
How can one have any kind of motivation to do this or that without being a feeler?
Also, another misconception is that racism comes from some deep feeling. Some of the most cold and robotic bastards in the world are racist. Some of the most decent and law-abiding bastards...all kinds of bastards in fact. Some are indoctrinated, some thing they are morally correct, some don't care at all...etc
Without Fi, this is what you would still see:
Is there anyone that Fi doesn't drive crazy? I'm just curious at this point.
It took people to stand up and say they weren't going to take it and other people to protect their right to do so, but you know, it wasn't exactly a MASS movement. It was a brave few who got things going.
Everyone uses feeling.
Deep feeling (racial superiority) can be cold.
