How do you deal with racism, sexism, and other hateful things?I know this is a very touchy topic but there's this boy in my class that makes unnecessary commentary about POC, Women's History Month, etc.  He's racist, sexist, and overall a hateful person.  I was told to ignore it but he's taking time out of our day and interrupting our learning.  That and he makes me uncomfortable as well as others.  I myself am a POC(mixed with white and African American) and I just cant explain how sad and uncomfortable by what he says to the point where I don't want to come to class(when we were discussing Black History Month, he thought it had no point and that he didn't care, that it was unnecessary.  Now I've had identity issues all my life because people like him and society made me think black folk were something to be ashamed of.  So when I finally embraced my black side and am proud of it, I have to deal with stupid comments like his all over again and I don't want to go through those identity issues because black is beautiful).
          	
          	And side note:sorry if I'm not as active (I'm active in my main rp that I originally joined but have not as much time even then because of exams, projects, etc so sorry!)

@Lovely_wrld  he sounds like a total jerk. Just report him to a teacher or someone and ignore him. My stupid innocent 6 year old self didn't know what to do when she faced racism from her classmates because she was from the south of the country she lived in, and there, people are darker. i just wanna scrunch them all up into a ball right now and knock them down an alley or somethin XD

@Lovely_wrld I would tell the teachers about it. I would tell them how it hurts my feelings and how he should get suspended

Ahhh my grandpa is getting his heart surgery today and my stepmom had to go with. I'm worried about her getting sick because nobody wants to take Covid seriously and the heart surgery is gonna take 6-8 hours D: idk how to calm down

@slothriverpack yes, there are a lot of cases due to stubborn people and quite a bit of people in my family have caught it(2 as far as I know have died from it out of the others)
