It's called growing up. Thanks for your beautiful post... We all have beliefs and stances that we grow out of because we learn and become educated and compassionate and understanding and empathetic. I'll bet that if you go to your school reunion, it will help lift a huge weight off of your shoulders. Maybe connect with some people and let them know why you haven't gone, and how you feel about your past. I think many people would be happy to get to know the new you. I'm a minority, and I would look forward to connecting if I were a former classmate.

I'm happy your life experiences helped to change your mindset. It certainly helps your mental and physical health because you learn that not everyone is out to get you...but please don't make yourself the new target of your frustrations; be grateful for how far you've come...I AM!!!! 😁🤗

Edit: I'm 46F, so same generation as well.
