How should I respond if someone else expresses derogatory views?
user
It is never acceptable to express derogatory views towards others. Responding to derogatory comments in an appropriate and assertive manner can be challenging. The most important thing is to let the person know that their words are not accepted and that you do not appreciate them. It may also be helpful to educate them about why what they said was wrong.

It's important to try and understanding where someone is coming from when they express derogatory views. Listen to the individual and show that you hear their opinion without validating it, then offer a counterpoint or alternative viewpoint to help foster discussion.
