How do you treat someone who hates you because of...
I'm sure whatever country or color or culture you are, you might have come across people that don't treat you well just because of your country, color or culture.

I have frequently come across such people. Any tips on how to treat such people in a civil manner?

Thanks.

p.s. This is a relevant question because 1. I live in a multicultural city 2. I like to travel.
@adamste81, You have a valid point, but, I'm not talking about subtle incidents, I'm talking about blatant racism here.
For e.g.
1. Entering a shop or a restaurant and getting served last after others have been served
2. Being asked to prove whether you have return tickets at the passport control
3. Sales staff not approaching you or screaming at you

(all real life incidents)

Answer

Whatever people say or do it's a comment about them, not you ! Their reactions follow from their beliefs and judgments--- pure and simple as that !!! and whether their attitude affects you or not, it's going to depend on you... and how far you let them go. So, the one thing I can suggest you is to look ahead and keep walking, that is not your problem, if you don't want to smile, don't smile because you think you have to be the bigger person here... the good thing about this is that now you know what kind of people you are dealing with in terms of behavior (for next time) ^^ 


(If you think they are being judgmental try not to do the same... DON'T JUDGE THEM... just walk away ^.^ )

Answer

Oh,my friend!I am sorry to hear that.I rarely met this kind of guies.I think it is cause my manner,I always smiles to every one inspite of their country or colour or culture,showing that I am friendly.But it is a case when first met.I do not have the experience mix with some body who is from diferent country,so I can not help you in this case.but I think the secret of a happy coming across is compromise.

Answer

It depends. Sometimes, it's better politely call them on that. People that are "racists" often have the illusion that they aren't (especially the patronizing kind). Sometimes the R-word gives them a jolt and they might mend their manners.

Answer

No, I never experienced anything like this. I would suggest that you just ignore them.
Be confident in youself. After all, it is their problem that they don't like you.

Answer

the fools practising rasism or nazism must be physically exterminated
