Response to a racist
The question is simple, how should one react to somebody who is a racist ? Usually I just leave them or give them a smile for their ignorance. But, that might make them more racist. So any advices, is reacting against them an option ? or will that put me in his position. Would like to hear your opinions and thoughts about this issue.
Please, this thread is not to bash anyone. If you want to please stay away.
Thank you all for your advice. I think I'll continue doing what I did before, ignore or :)
I hope they change. They will come to know how it feels, only once they are on the other side.
TB, i got his joke as well but i dont find it funny
cheers
i will be his mirror
LP... just to let you know I got your joke even if no one else did LOL.
all of you who have compared Filipinas to hala card, Indian to deodorant & curry odor. Accused Filipinas as robbers of white old men.
Thobes is white in color ...
most probably at work place, else who will get a free time to post on QL ;)
Depends on the context. Are you talking about your place of work or at the mall, when the security guards stop non-white males who are not wearing thobes at the entrance?
br, nice philosophy :P
dont react or dont talk to them
if u r good others will be good.
if u r bad others will even more bad to u
When one receives or in conversation and a racist comment is made - politely ask them to repeat it, then say (again politely and pleasantly) "that's what I thought you said" - and move the conversation along on another topic.
Sometimes I think people don't actually hear what they are saying themselves. Give them an opportunity to listen to themselves without judgement - maybe they will actually hear what they themselves are saying.
After all, you can't fix stupid - and that's what racism is, stupidity
Every person is in one way a racist ... But does he say iam a racist ...
and u never know...sometimes u urself act as a racist maybe :(
anyway...toasted bread with butter is nice

There are 19 races in this year's Formula 1 calendar after the cancellation of Bahrain. I'm gonna watch them all. I am a racist!
Just walk away no need to stoop down to their level.
define racist?
When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water
Thanks Behrang.
Give me the percentage of racists existing in the world ...
It takes more courage and emotional maturity to walk away from any racist slurs. Most racist are basically irrational bullies, mentally unsound, lowly educated, culturally unpolished. Why lower yourself to their level? You do not want to deal with these people.
I know responding to racist might somehow give you an illusion of superiority, or a temporary heal to your wounded ego, but these are all superficial things. There are much more important things in life to tend to.
Just see them as barking dogs. Do not dignify with a response. Use your brain, use your intellect. Bravados without brain will only get you into troubles. Remember that.
Just ignore them...
Ok done ...
Really speaking there is a bit of "racist" in all of us. But, some people use racism to demean other people which is not good. But since we all have been brought up with this mentality it is difficult to shake it off. If you are strong enough, then shout em down and if you can't then get away as soon as possible.
A literate never address such like that and so you are.
Behrang ur signature pic is taking half of the screen...can u make him a dwarf ?
Most racists possess within them a bully mentality and the one way to combat that is to pay no heed. The truth is racists are to be pitied as much as they are despised. It must sure suck to be in there shoes..know you are always better off than them in that sense, and walk away!
Take a rifle and shoot them ...
There are different responses depending upon the situation.
There isn't a single solution.
be more racist
grab your thing and wave it at him :D
Let the DOGS to bark...
They stop on their own..lol
Just smile -- and, simply, ignore... if you're going to track every racist, your heart will be wrung with misery -- learn how to forget more than to fight back.
Ignore him. Don't react at all, he is just waiting for you to react and make a laugh out of you....
How in real world ?

take it easy just enjoy the fun.
bummers
Just keep on ignoring them or use the contact button on the top right of ur screen....
