Yeah, I ran into one the other day. I figure the best way to combat this is to downvote and then put in my own comment. Even if my comment is low effort it will at least help to push those comments down and out of sight.
That is the way of the internet, pretty mild stuff, compared to the wild west, but good to know of the darker side of interacting with people with many different backgrounds and thinking.
Best we can do is try to be and do better than them!
We can also try to be friendly and call them out, in a mild way, so as to not be too confrontational, we don't want them to double down or scare them...
Not sure if it would work or if the process I lined up would work in that instance, but all we can do is try!
It reminds me of Daryl Davis.
