Why would someone want to have a conversation with you about race if that's your starting point? Sounds like an exercise in being condescended to until they accede to your perspective, and not much fun. For that matter, why would you want to have a conversation with someone who you've decided, ab initio, is "incredibly ignorant"? Sounds like an exercise in pulling your hair out, and also not much fun.

Okay, so if someone says to you that they believe that vaccines cause autism, do you sit there with a completely open mind and think "Well I'm sure this will be completely logical and convincing," or is your first thought likely "This person is an anti-science doofus?" If you're the former, then I guess congratulations, you're a better person than I am, but I think most people come to any discussion with preconceived notions about the other side based on past experiences, researching the other side, etc.
