How did you deal with this distressing situation?

in the past people have been racist to me but at that time i was too young to understand how to deal with it, recently my friend got racially abused and she did the worst thing possible she went up to the racist bully and beat him up ( yeah she is one gutsy girl) but after that she didnt get justice instead she was named a bully and people started to hate her including the teachers. People deal with racism in different ways but what is the best way ?surely beating people up isnt, but then agian you can just ignore it how can you? it is very easy to get mad and sometimes when you are mad you just cant control your feelings especially when you are so passionate about your own culture (like my friend who beat up the bully, but obcourse this was not a good way to deal with it) how do you guys deal with this situation, have any of you every been in this situation before? what is the best way?, i am sorry if i have offended anyone i understand this is a very sensitive subject.How did you deal with this distressing situation?
Hi,





Please always bear in your mind that no culture or race is superior to the other. Otherwise, you fall into the same mistake racist do.





Love your culture, be proud but don't overdue it. Always have an objective open mind towards people who has different culture than yours. That will help you to understand other people better.





Secondly, learn your culture very well and tell the others about it so they have an opinion about it, too.





Please don't forget that people are afraid of the unknown and a person- or an animal as a matter of fact- attacks when scared. Inform them and listen when they tell you about themselves :)





I wish you the best.How did you deal with this distressing situation?
I normally don't get that upset about it. I tell my friends what happened, and we simply have a laugh, because anybody who is racist is low-educated and immature...that's my opinion. :-)
