Quote:I have asked people to not say certain things around me in friendly settings. Directly. "Don't say that word around me." If the person is civil, I explain why. If it's someone I didn't know, but we were in a public setting where their racist or ignorant statement is heard by multiple people, I will say something of equal volume to call it out in a negative way. This has ranged from "Not cool bro," to, "That's some real ignorance," to "That's really [BAD WORD REMOVED] up." The only time anything ever escalated to a physical altercation was with a person I knew.

I'm sorry I don't find racism as tolerable as you.

So asking how you "supposedly" handle these situations means I'm fine with racism? I'm totally surprised you didn't flat out call me a racist, since anyone that dares to not vote just like you is a card carrying member of the Klan.


Makes me wonder why people you hang out with feel so comfortable being openly racist around you. Guess they've never witnessed you "shut it down"...you'd think people would notice if you did that kind of thing.
