I'm curious, when confronted by overt sexism, racism, etc, do you ignore it, attempt to make the person self-aware, or attack? What if it's an acceptable form of bigotry according to society? What it is a minor form of bigotry?

Is racism acceptable from a minority, or sexism acceptable from a woman? Is it OK for a deaf person to be a bigot when it comes to firing an autistic guy?

@JonKramer I don't think it's acceptable, but it depends on the situation. Some sort of discrimination seems to be accepted or even encouraged by society. Kinda weird in my opinion, though sometimes it might be a necessity to counterbalance the discrimination from the other direction.

@trinsec the counterbalance point is spot on. I tried to figure out a way to word that point in a short text, and still can't, because that subject is just too complex for this medium.
