When I was 21 I had four 17 year old apprentices under me. One of them was getting ignored one day, and when I asked why it was because he was spouting racist shit.
I took the guy to one side and found he'd believed the BNP leaflets that hed been given after the Saurday football match. The more everyone ignored him the more he thought he was right. I sat down and asked him the reasons he thought we were superior to other races, and had talked him out of it in half and hour.
Racism is illogical and its always worth engaging with a racist and continually confronting their ignorance, ignoring them is dangerous.
