How Do You Act Around A Racist?

I try to explain in what wat i disagree. Depending on their reaction i react differently:

1. Very stubborn, unwilling to listen and continuesly undermining: I ignore them thereforth.

2. Sticking by opinion but giving me a chance to speak my mind: I leave peacefully and in friendship.

3: They revert to insults, either to the race or to me: I end the conversation and make it obvious i have no intentions to continue it.

4. They revert to threats/violence: Right back at ya.

5: They ACTUALLY (and this never happens) listen and perform a proper discussion with me, allowing me to state my opinion AND counteract his before moving on: I cum. It's so rare, it makes me cum.

It depends if the racist is possibly going to get violent. I had racism against me and my friends from some Pakistani kids in my country. We just laughed at them because what they were saying was just so horribly lame and inoffensive and that really took the wind out of their sails. But I understand it's obviously different if you're the minority and if it might get beyond the odd bit of name calling.

Generally, people are racist because they don't want to learn, they don't want to have their opinions changed. In that sense, it's hard to argue with them. They also tend to be massively insecure about certain things so you can trigger a shitstorm by mistake. For example, a lot of people are racist because of "foreigners stealing their jobs" so if you try to counter that by offering the notion that maybe these foreigners are better at the work, they blow a gasket and go nuts. Not to go all pseudo-psychiatrist here, but they don't hate the foreigners per se, they just hate that they've lost their job and are powerless to get it back.

Sometimes you meet real nutcases like a black woman that lives next to me who was moaning about "all the blacks stealing our jobs". That was a pretty awkward conversation.

Our current President is white according to all his campaigning. During his campaigning all he express was about his mother and his white grandparents. He never made any compliments of his father who left his mother. So, now tell how black is Obama.

By God/Supreme Being and everybodies ancestry one thing is a fact: WE are all the same human beings who strive to improve their own and surronding areas for the future except for all the wanton destruction we have done to our planet. Long term this can be repaired; I hope.

Here I am now & I didn't think I'd find myself being smoked out in a Nazi's garage playing DnD almost every weekend w/ Cactus Coolers packin' bowls in a hookah all the night and into the next day. I guess what I've seen is that there are not always the kind of racists that are just the whole "white power, white power" & funny to hang out w/. Though I'm probably dealing w/ a pretty rare case here aside from most others trying that idea out... o.o;

I find everyone is a little racist in some way, And as long as they play along and it doesnt bother them I find its no harm done, I joke around with a mexican friend of mine at work (subway) and i noticed he brought a tortilla instead of using a wrap. I questioned him on it and Now i call him taco bell and we just roll with it.

Bravo! Bravo! But!!!

My (European-American with Hispanic ancestry) neighbor says it should be more salsa.
My black neighbor says it should be more hip hop.
My gay neighbor says it is great.
I say it should be more rock 'n' roll. (I am European-American non-hispanic ancestry)

Sorry, that's all the folks here. LOL!!!

Growing up with a family that was somewhat racist, I can sorta tell what I do in a situation like that. Just observe and keep your mouth shut. There is no point in getting in an argument. I think it is kinda interesting to hear what other people have to say, whether it be racist or not. To be honest, one thing I act racist in is how I think white people cannot be otaku.

[color=blue]If people are being racists I just hear it and don't say anything about it. Most of the times I wouldn't be able to argue with them anyway.[/color]

That is not being racist, that's the truth. Only Asians, preferably Japanese can be Otakus. All other are weeboos.

Anyway, if it were me, I'd probably argue with him about it. Or maybe I'd just ignore it.

Best thing to do is be quiet. You're logic's dead on--a person with those views is incorrigible, and to state your disapproval of their opinion in any fashion will only give you a headache.

If he lives in the US, it's kind of amusing how he'll tolerate living under a government that has a black president.

The only way that this 'problem' of racism can be solved is through enlightenment and education, which is a very slow and excruciating process.

As for racist individuals, I usually just try to make them say some asinine remark so that they embarrass themselves in front of others.

I roll my eyes and try to ignore them. But sometimes I'll prove them wrong. Like today I was visiting my grandparents, old white people are very racist, and I tried to defend the Jewish people they were poking at since what we were talking about had nothing to be with being Jewish, lol.

Human racism can be solved with aliens. haha.

You kill it with fire.

But you could also start laughing out loud, which I would do. Who cares about race when you've got the aliens to watch out for?

Remember the attribute that Caster from Fate/Zero? Mind Pollution, thats pretty much what racism is.
"...it becomes impossible to come to an understanding with individuals that do not possess an equivalent rank of mental pollution."

*Edit*
Forgot to actually answer the question.
I just ignore them.
