Why do I see so many people trying to get racist responses?

I tend to see many race baiting questions. Some get pulled and others do not. If this is to be a forum for the exchange of ideas, why do so many want to get emotion and hostility?

    So many people feel that they can hide behind their computer screens and say things that they think but cannot voice in any other forum. The Troll that you see all so often on Q&A is just looking for attention and the more hysterical the response the more he or she enjoys the process. They want the attention. Even if its not a positive response, it is at the very least some response. Some one is actually paying attention to what they have to say.

    Don't even feel sorry for them. Just don't respond in any way. Report the stuff immediately and block the troll. You will be giving them the one thing that really hurts them the most. The truth that no one cares what they say at all.
