I think this sort of question (at least, I think this is what you are
implying) comes up a lot.
For example, we know that MLKJ was a womanizer (see
https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/s673le/martin_luther_king_was_a_womanizer/
), but, while we don't like what he did in his personal life, we still
like what he said.
For some people (myself not included), they probably view Donald Trump and
his relation to Fred Trump the same way: they like what President Trump
does (well, maybe less so now 😏), but not how he acted in
his personal life and the beliefs and actions that his father took.
In general, I don't think inheritance is fate. (That may be true for some
genetic features, 'tho.) Offspring can go in a completely different
direction, for better or worse. I suppose that's a particular "human
evolution", maybe.
