The key is to have enough faith that you don't care.

You have to have enough where you don't mind some little breach of your status.

You're like, oh, really?

Someone disrespects you.

You don't have to prove to them.

Because you have to understand what game you're playing.

Most people don't.

The consequences of violence are grave.

You do not want to engage in this...

this pattern of behavior that people have locked into their brain.

Most of the time we don't use it.

You know, the vast majority of human history, they used it a lot.

That again is carved into your brain.

Yeah.

You must resist.

That's a real danger of the status game of telling those people that someone's done this to you and that those people should not be heard from.

Those people are the reason why you're in the situation that you're in.

You're empowering people to hate someone specifically because of the way they look.

No matter what you think the justifications of that, it's the exact same thing in every culture when that happens.

It's just racism.
