    Try seemingly open-minded questions about what they think. Gently introducing questioning will avoiding confrontation can work to shake their beliefs. It can be satisfying to see them become more nuanced as they try to explain.

        Just gently question those: oh, why do you think this? What do you think of those people who have another opinion? Keep pulling on whatever they give.

          No. That’s a poor way to do it. They have very clear ideas on why things are like they are, and for the basis of their racism… they’re wrong ideas, but they’re extremely clear. Arguing without the understanding that they have alternatives facts is wrong

            Why would you think it’s without knowing they got intoxicated by fake news?
            That’s the point, you think they have wrong ideas, so you push them gently to increase the chance that they will question them by themselves.
            If that’s a poor way to do it, maybe you have a better way, what is it?
