I’m disappointed that it’s not 90%. Hell, it isn’t 90% in even a single state. I wonder if there are any other countries where it reaches 90% (EDIT: Looks like it in Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Canada, and/or Spain. Poor showing from Slavic and MENA countries).
Bigotry is a byproduct of stupidity, so it’s not surprising that there will always be a percentage of people who discriminate for stupid reasons. No matter how much education and guidance you provide to people, there will always be dummies in the herd.
Bigotry is a byproduct of ignorance and ignorance is usually solveable.

Attributing things to “stupidity” is a defense mechanism we use to make ourselves feel better. It is not a model with predictive power and it doesn’t tell you how to solve the situation. It’s a way of making it feel like something that can’t and won’t affect you. It’s a way of distancing and minimizing a problem.
