I tend to ignore it, unless faced with it directly (then I either leave or keep my mouth shut...most of the time). It's all over the place + arguing with the ignorant almost always ends w/ fruitless results....even if sometimes fun.
I live in Bible Belt, USA. It gets stupid. I know people that won't eat at Cracker Barrel just because "Cracker" falls under the moniker.
I find the whole subject really sad, yeah, but also really tiring.
It's been around since the beginning of time, and until when/if we all become one race (which will inevitably happen, taken we survive long enough) it will always be around. Sucks, but then again so does homophobia, xenophobia, etc-o-phobia. There will always be those that are uncomfortable w/ those that aren't like them. Everyone is, sometimes. Despite shit I've said in the past, people really are often products of their environment.
Only way to speed up the process of fixing things (as far as I can tell) is more interracial relationships, that...or people just waking up and getting past what are often small-fry cultural differences + bullshit their grandparents/parents told 'em.
I still don't want kids. This place is scary.
