That tracks, metal fans are some of the kindest people I’ve met.
I believe an open mind is a prerequisite for liking metal. It's not the most accessible genre and kind of a musical acquired taste.
Tell that to all of the white nationalist metal bands out there. Not trying to be snarky but metal has had a massive Nazi problem since day 1. Case in point, the metal genre in the OP is riddled with racist scum
Sadly, being open minded doesn't automatically make someone smart. But I've personally had only good experiences with metal fans, so I'm anecdotally primed to believe what you describe is not a very significant problem, or at least not more widespread than in the general population.
