It has been brought up about standing up to racial prejudice and hate rhetoric. That by not taking offence to it and remaining neutral you encourage it. You are portrayed as weak willed and willy-nilly. I think it takes more strength to guide it toward awareness, ignore the ugliness and encourage those values that that deepen the understanding.
To me, Intellectual prejudice is many times more dangerous than racial or social prejudice. Often social prejudices may be loosened by intellectual appeal, but, if the intellect is prejudiced then it may only lead down the path of disaster. Once humans have an intellectual justification for social prejudice there is no stopping them. It spreads like an infection.
