      okay. So how does one deal with racists in the family, workplace, etc?

      Generally, if someone is judging others by race, I point out why I don't think that works/is fair or kind

      that's very nice, but the vitriol of racist abuse makes that reason v hard

      Sure but now we've moved to vitriolic racist abuse which is far end of the scale.

      When ppl speak of racism, its anything from 'microaggressions' to wanting to deny ppl rights.

      and some people refuse to believe racism of any kind exists, except against whites.

      Yes. These people are unambiguously wrong & easy to refute.

          but not change their minds. Believe me, I've tried. Their response is media bias, "I've never seen that," or what about this?

          There are dogmatic ideologues impervious to reason & evidence of both sides but most people are not this immovable.

          then I must be really unlucky and got a bunch of them. I don't think so, though. Sometimes what they're wrong about is so basic

          I also talk to extremists a lot. Its bewildering how blinded some people can be. But you can so often find a way in.

          I find that the ones with these views are very insulated and have not engaged in any type of dialogue, but refuse to, claim bias
