Life is too short to let someone else control you so......don’t.
I used to think ignoring it would help. It doesn't, it only solidifies a racist's beliefs.
The funny thing is, and it's only taken me about 50 years to learn this, is that, as a racial minority, I have extraordinary power over people that make comments like this. I get to be me and frighten the hell out them simply by being me. I live rent-free in their head, scaring them every time they turn a corner and encounter "one of us." They are much more frightened of you than you ever will be of them. Use it to your advantage. I once made a guy piss in his pants because I walked out the restroom as he was walking in, and he wouldn't use the same facilities as one of "those people." Served him right.
