Is it possible to send a moral message condemning racial prejudice by portraying both the positive and negative sides of both racial groups (Blacks and Whites)?

If it was possible to do so, it would mean that we are able to see both the positive and negative sides of both racial groups. However, more often than not, we only have a one-sided judgement of a person; that is to say that we determine whether a person is "good" or "bad" by weighing the positive sides and negative sides. Similarly, even if we are able to see both the positive and negative sides of both racial groups, we will still make a judgement of who is "right" and who is "wrong", even if the separation between the former and the latter might be just a fine line. This concept is often evident in religions as well.

How do we determine whether a person is good or evil by nature? This is very hard to determine. A common storyline used in drama serials, where a seemingly good person suddenly goes "mad" and does something "evil", demonstrates this point. Also, a novella which I had read in the past Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde embodies the same ideology. Next, what is good and what is evil? This is a harder question to answer and does not have a definite answer. The answer is subjective to one's opinions and viewpoint. If we adopt a utilitarian perspective, what we might think as good might be seen as evil to one who adopts a Kantian perspective. Murder and suicide might seem wrong and cowardly to the majority of the population but a small group of individuals might think otherwise. Not to say that I am advocating it, but rather it is more a personal opinion of things.

Linking back to the original question, it is not possible to condemn racial prejudice by portraying both the positive and negative sides of both racial groups as we will always see one group as dominating the other even if that certain group has positive traits portrayed that we will view as insignificant, even if we are wrong. If the positive side and negative side of both groups are prominently displayed (i.e. we are unable to tell who is good and who is evil), then the audience would be very confused as to who the author wishes to criticise and the moral message condemning racial prejudice would be lost.
