How to ignore ignorance people?

Question

People are often ignorance but I get to be serious to those people and feel stupid. What should I do? How can I ignore ignorance people?

Thanks for your help.

I work for a hotel and something was happened with the coworkers. They said "Chinese people are just so stupid and rude". But they tend to admire White culture. I speak German and English so I have an position of foreign customer desk service in my job and talk to many White people so they tend to admire me but I do not care about other nationality. Also I have some families who aren't Japanese and adapted. People love my "White brother" but don't really like my "Indian ancle". I even don't like they call my family like that. He is just my brother not White brother.

So the thing is people are often so ignorant but I always get mad at those people. I use my enargy and everything to explain what is so wrong in what they said and think.

People are ignorant and I need to know how do I ignore those ignorance morons.

Answer 1

I really would like to respond to your question, but more information is needed here.

First of all, who are the ignorant people you refer to, and second, what is your relationship to them?

Answer 2

To start with, you're clearly wanting to enlighten the ignorant, which is a wholly admirable thing. It shows you're a good person, and someone who wants to do the right thing. However, from the sound of things, what you take to be ignorance in the first instance is actually prejudice.

There's a difference. Ignorance is simply lack of information, and can be remedied by providing the information. Prejudice is lack of interest in getting information which contradicts certain views. Ignorance can be remedied. Prejudice quite often can't.

About the only polite thing you can do with prejudiced people is to treat them as ignorant the first time (and provide the correct information). Once they've been offered the correct information, and refused it, they're being rude, and you're within your rights to ask them (politely, of course) not to say such things near you as you find it offensive.

An additional complication is your longer expansion implies you're in a customer service role toward these people. At that point, the best thing to do is simply to complete the task at hand, and move on to something else. Don't engage them in conversation outside things which are job-related - it's not worth your time and effort. Choose your battles wisely.

Answer 3

Okay, the word is "ignorant" if you're using it to describe a person who is unknowing. Ignorance is a noun.

Ignore ignorance...is that like a double negative?

How rather to deal with people who act in a way that disturbs you that you can't do anything about?

You can inform people who are willing to learn but arrogant people don't think they need to learn anything from anyone. It depends on whether you want to be their friend, or just get along.

Either way a good sense of humor helps a lot and a good friend to lean on when the others get the best of you.

Answer 4

Your use of the phrase "ignorance people" shows your own ignorance, of English, but ignorance is not a bad thing. It only means that something is not known to you. People who are shown their ignorance and choose to keep it are not ignorant, they are deplorable. All you can do is walk away. Reason will not touch them. They do not wish to be touched by reason.

Answer 5

the sentence should read "how do I ignore ignorant people".

It's easy though. You just smile and think about other things

Answer 6

Maybe because you are infact stupid? O_o.

You should accept them. Honestly, thinking ignorant people are below you, or should be ignored, is a sign of your own ignorance...

Answer 7

You mean people that use the word ignorance instead of ignorant? You cant be serious.

Answer 8

Try to send them on a 'fools errand' that will keep them occupied for a while.

Answer 9

Ask them to define their terms. They will soon tire of it and leave you alone, or they just might start to learn.
