Pro-tip: Did you know that you dont have to be friends with racists, misogynists, and bigots? You can stop inviting them to parties, you can de-friend them on facebook, and you can call them out when they start preaching hate. I know that its not always this easy, because they might be a family member, or a work colleague, or otherwise someone you *have* to deal with... But sometimes it really is easy enough to just chop them out of your life. And sometimes thats important, because being friends with them can help legitimise their views in the eyes of others. Im very, *very* thankful that my own friends seem to have the right idea about how the world can be made a better place (although sometimes we have modest disagreements), but Im often stunned when friends-of-friends wander into discussions on my wall and sometimes reveal incredibly bigoted opinions. I really hope that you *dont* have to be friends with those people. #Shareable
