That article you linked is not an academic research paper. Here's a better one on the phenomenon.

I brought it up because knowing how the brain works is important to addressing these things. By pointing out how certain learned behaviors can be directly tied to certain brain functions you give people a deeper understanding of themselves. When taught that their reaction to minorities is an irrational response brought about by their brain, they can learn to ignore these feelings.
I understand why you're hesitant to draw these connections though. psychology is a field of science that the Nazis heavily abused to their own genocidal ends but that does not invalidate the field in its entirety.
