What's your advice for those who have been influenced by websites to hate other race?

A lot of people around the world are like this: without proper understanding or instruction, they become easily influenced by almost anything they see on the Internet to hate other people and groups, resulting in racist people (such as anti-Whites, anti-Blacks, etc.) and some Internet trolls.

If you happen to have a friend who feels like hating other races, what advice would you suggest for them?

Should you tell your friend to avoid those sites, or continue?

Update:

Sometimes, I myself felt tempted to hate other races due to spending too much time in Yahoo Answers and other sites in the past.

So that is why I ask this question to see what would you do, if you (or a friend of yours) felt like wanting to hate other races because of what you have seen online.

    My advice would be to introduce your friend IRL to some acquaintances who do not look like you, and whose cultures differ from yours. If you have no such acquaintances, then I would advise you to set aside a year to put the laptop or phone away for most of the day, and become involved in volunteering, or in club, church, or group activities with people who a different. If you avoid the common mistake of first approaching new people as if you are looking at an exhibit in a zoo, then you will find that it is natural to connect with them on the basis of shared interests and even shared viewpoints. From that foundation, you can then learn to deal with the sometimes very perplexing differences of culture and experience. Once you have a feel for this, you will be able to help your friend learn the same things.

    Social media are great places to learn hatred and to have it reinforced - but only if there is a great, big zero in your real life experience, to counter-act that hatred. Hatred is always based in a lack of personal experience or a normal level of empathy. For most people, that is easy to fix. Just meet a person IRL, as a PERSON - not as a symbol of this threat or that. The rest will take care of itself. It's how we humans are wired to work.

    The racist and hateful stuff on here and other sites use to trigger me too, and I've caused flame wars in the past because of it. But one has to learn how stop taking things too seriously and realize we all bleed red. Fighting fire with fire just becomes pointless.

    Source(s): Just don’t live your life with anger and hate in you since you’ll only be hurting yourself more than the people you hate.

    Our advice is still the same, black women should become butchers and Asian men should become janitors.
