I don't know if this belongs here or in the Life section. Sorry if I'm wrong :[

How do you deal with racism, hate or just plain idiots?
I often can brush it off, on the outside that is. In the inside, I'm angry and confused to why they would do such a thing. Is it really that enjoyable? Whatever, I don't always let it go though. If it's something that crosses the line or I'm just having an extremely grumpy day, then I confront the person. Fighting is fun anyways.

What about you? And how often do you come across this?

I just laugh it off, it's a lot more fun to be able to laugh at anything. I also don't let things offend me. I used to, but I ended up getting mad a lot. Now I don't and everything's funny. As they say, laughter is the best medicine. Could explain why I've gotten sick only once since I started not getting offended (a year and a half or so).

Mostly I just ignore them.

Both ignoring and laughing are good alternatives to do with close-minded people. Confronting them it´s no use because surely they´re not clever enough to think about it although you give them good reasons. So you´d better forget about it although you are angry. Each person must have his own morality and you´re not going to change other´s one.

What country and area are you in. If its bad and you dont have to be there, leave. Dont hang around and fight the system unless you have to or want to. Otherwise be strong and tell them to *#$% off.

Those who treat others with racism hate are those retarded ones who still live in the past. I don't really take them seriously. In fact, in my inner being I just thought how uncivilized they are! The world is changing. Earlier people in the third world and developing countries are looked down upon by those in developed countries.

But the world is changing, developing countries are performing well and in the days to come they will probably lead the world. And those who have superior mindset will feel ashame of themselves because they have to work under whom they looked down upon. So, these are reality now. It is better not to look down upon others and have hatred towards them. It benefits none especially the ones who have such in their hearts.

I consider such people uncivilized.

Yes its true. Some people do this just for enjoyment, or to feel better about themselves. Hey I learnt that in year 7 and 8 in intermediate at school! So I did learn something.

I agree... besides you know better, people only judge because they are insecure themselves, so why not? LAUGH IT OFF!!!!

EXACTLY

I wonder if they haven't got something else to do. They make themself look so stupid, and I almost think they are jealous at other people the people they hate. I mean, why would you even worry about other persons opinions, beliefs, looks, sexes? What do they accomplish with what they do? I really think it's just the feeling of having power over somebody else, otherwise I really can't think of anyting , why to waist time and effort hating and trying to make another person feel like nothing.
