Word. I'm trying to get better at pointing out people's hateful statements to them -- even if they don't mean them as such. (I have you to thank for this, at least in part. This journal is often very inspiring to me.) Mostly I do it online, but I'm finally growing the guts to cross it over into face-to-face interactions too. Have you noticed any major differences in the reactions people have online versus IRL when you point out their bigotry?
In person I most often see people blithely ignore the sentence I have just uttered to them or get into weird justifications based in false claims of intellectual attainment "Well, it's just that the culture is different" is uttered to me so often about some many totally disparate things from people who don't know shit, it's sort of amazing.
