I don't have suggestions besides the comments that people have already said to you. From speaking up to viewing it differently. Whatever makes you feel better - different solutions for different people in different situations. I just wanted to comment that I experience the same thing with people who make fun of people of different sexual orientation. It really annoys me when I hear the jokes, comments and steriotypes because it's so prominent where I live. Montreal was different. So I will think about these suggestions too because the other day I started to really tell someone how I felt about their views and they turned beat red because I was in a position of power at the time - I backed off but if I had continued...at the end of the day they didn't know any better so that would have been the wrong thing to do. I am thinking for myself I would like to get invloved in activities that raise more awareness because it is needed where I live and it will give me hope. But then I will have to find ways to console myself in that the process or raising awareness is slow.
