    Being confronted and having to think about or explain your bigotry is the only way they can learn.

      In my opinion, shaming people for bigoted opinions can be effective and even necessary at times, but only serves to change people’s behavior.

      I’ve found that the main thing that changes people’s thoughts or values are measured explanations or evidence to the contrary.
