I think Hanlon's razor applies here:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Another possible explanation: implicit bias which operates at the unconscious level. There is evidence from social psychology (but I don't have references ready to hand) which indicates that there are people who claim, when asked, to be unprejudiced, but who nevertheless behave in a prejudiced manner in their actual decision-making.
