Who is tired of trying to explain to racists the truths?

Question

I am a Muslim child. There are always people making fun of me because of my beliefs. I don't attack them or anything. I just keep myself under my control, and serenly respond to their everlasting antics. This is also a problem with Jews and other minority (in the U.S.) religion followers.

Answer 1

Yes. Lets just ignore them all and hope they go away. Some people out there will never get it. Let them ***** and hate and spout their ignorance... I don't listen anymore.

Answer 2

I am very sorry to hear that. In Canada (while not perfect) people usually aren't belittled for their faith or their skin colour. Turns out that everybody is basically the same as everybody up here...who knew? oh yeah we did. I have many friends that are Muslim, Jewish, christian, Buddhist, Sikh, etc...and every colour of the rainbow...its rare (sadly it does happen) to be ostracized for not being a white christian. Stay strong and keep your head up because there is no changing the mind of an inbred redneck yank.

Answer 3

Write it off to ignorance. Unfortunately there are people in society who have no manners or common respect for other people and their beliefs. Take heart in knowing that although there are racists and bigots in the world, not all people share in their beliefs.

Additionally I commend you for not being drawn down to their level. Racism is ugly and unfortunate no matter who it is directed against, but to retaliate generally will not make you feel better, and will just put you into their catagory.

Answer 4

I'm tired, I've been doing it for forty-two of my forty-nine years, but I do not give up. I'm with you. By the way, I'm a Christian, but a real one, not one of those "George Bush when the cameras are rolling when it suits me and I want to steal some money and kill other religions"-type christians.

I'm a Christian. They are christians. We have huge differences, nearly all of which they will never understand.

You seem like a very serene and patient person for someone who describes themself as a child. Shine, and even the worst of them will have to respect you, even if they can never feel that they love you. But that is their fault, not yours, so never, ever judge yourself on what others think or if they make fun of you. They make fun of me, too. I'm at peace with myself. I can survive just fine on a one-percent approval rating as long as I'm in that one percent. My strength and virtues come from within, not from without.

Peace be with you!
Peace and love.

Answer 5

It is amazing how small the minds of some of the people who are on here. It seems like everyone lumps us into catagories, instead of individually by our question. I hope that you can keep it under control, because it is all just a test. Good Luck

Answer 6

I hope a quote from the Christian Bible doesn't offend you: 'If any be ignorant, let them be ignorant still.'

There is no explaining to extremists -- of any stamp -- what the truth really is. So let them be ignorant still; they will never learn.

Answer 7

I am not a victim of racism I do sympathise with you, my turkish family are muslim and they are ridiculed daily!

Keep your head held high and dont let them bring you down!

Answer 8

Answer 9

I would look them straight in the face and say, "Do you always believe what the media tells you?"

Answer 10
