I saw your comment last night before it got deleted and I just wanna make sure for myself but vampire Bert and Joan...aren't racists anymore? I didn't really notice they showed up with Stack and Mary until you pointed it out.

For canon, Ryan left it intentionally ambiguous. There's -- at least to me -- a not-insignificant argument* to be made for them having the potential to change. (Particularly the fact that they showed up with Stack and Mary when Remmick was doing his I Am Your Way Out monologue -- he also never says that they are or were Klan-affiliated themselves, he says they're kin to Hogwood, who is. And I think the manipulation of language is deliberate.)

But for fic purposes, yes, they canonically renounced the Klan that night and committed to it.
