This is good advice to a friend or a loved one who is going through bullying or other nastiness. It is not a good policy prescription for making our world a more equitable place - and yes, that&#x27;s a goal we should all be striving towards.<p>I agree that in the face of bullying or racist speech, we should try to thicken our skin and move on with our lives and understand that the problem is on the part of the perpetrators, not with me. But that doesn&#x27;t mean I don&#x27;t think we should try to get rid of bullying and racism in our society..
