I make a point to discuss it.
If enough people speak up, people will realize their way of thinking is not normal or accepted.
It used to be ok to make gay jokes on message boards like this one. People sat on the sidelines uncomfortably saying nothing. At some point people started speaking up, and it's just not accepted anymore.
I think things are moving the same way with the anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discussions.
I'm not going to shut up until things have changed. If I lose relationships with some racists or xenophobes, meh.
