How would you deal with a racist classmate?

We used to have a guy when I was 18 in college that was really racist to lot of people from black people to Scott's.

I'd wouldn't stoop to their level. They are attracting what they are putting out. I wouldn't let their pull bring me down to their level. It'll take self control and the ability to ignore their nature but it's worth it. I'd tell someone who can do something about it but anytime I was in the presence of that person I'd treat them with respect and try to say as little as possible until I can get out of their presence.

Because if you go to their level you're just messing up your life. If you want to explain to them why they are wrong in a polite way that's fine but it's a very thin line to walk and should be practiced. Also understand racism is a belief and not based on logic. That means you cannot change their minds, in one sitting, with logic unless it is a very weak belief.

I would fuck his girlfriend or sister and be sure that he finds out. I once waited 9 years for such an opportunity and they were 3 years divorced by then. He instantly called her furious within a minute of her posting a picture of us together. At the end of the day that's what they fear most. The thought of my BBC in her throat is still driving him mad to this day. If this option isn't for you then you can always tell him to fuck off or sincerely ask him what he is so afraid of. He probably doesn't know any black folks.

[Paris13]

Not much you can do besides call them out and report it to someone like a teacher or someone else that works there that has the power to potentially ban a student if need be.

I would likely try to befriend and be kind to those they were hateful against. Supporting those who are downtrodden is often the best recourse in a situation like this.

[jojoiwiwbwjo]

Do it like colonists did, make up your own character piorities and act like your skin color is associated with being above ski color :)

[Bricealan]

Probably ignore him and let the people affected by deal with him.

[Mansearching]

Wouldn't be friends with them. Just ignore them.

[Mansearching]

I just reread question. I guess he wouldn't like me to much. I'm part Scot and Irish... lol

[Guardian45]

I don't have the time of day for racists! I'm not even sure I could be civil to the bastatd.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Couldn't agree more!

[Hanrej]

Real racist or racist by left wing Americans standards?

[eagle1951]

can't answer that I went to a school that was 60% black we all got along find

[riverrat3]

I would be civil to them, but would not be their friend

[FunkyMonkee]

Kick him in the nuts!

[Asker]

Why?

[FunkyMonkee]

For being a rude, pinheaded asshole!

[LunarEclipse433]

Ignore them. You will not change their mind

[jahaims]

Embarrass them publicly.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn’t care.

[Chayce]

Fight them
