I'm trying to help you. Please think about it.

1. Never complain about someone's behavior if you are doing the same thing.

2. Be professional, even if you think someone is not professional towards you. If you are doing right then you have a much stronger case.

3. "I'm going to do this just to piss him/her off," is not cool after the age of 16. It is unacceptable past the age of 24. If you are approaching or past 30 well...it's a damn shame.

4. Unless you have a problem with someone's gender/skin tone/nationality etc...leave it out of your argument.

5. Repeatedly starting sentences with, "No offense but..." is useless. We know you mean to be offensive.

6. I don't recognize your privilege so please go back rethink your approach and try again.

7. If you don't want to be called racist then stop acting like a racist.

8. Shut up and listen. You may learn something.

9. Everyone can tell the difference between true confidence and bravado fueled by insecurity. Work on yourself a bit more.

10. "It's the principle..." reflects one of three things: 1) You truly believe what you are saying, 2) You can't support what you are saying but, are too embarrassed to admit it, 3) You just want to argue because you are too immature to let it go.

11. "Well, we would never do that back home." I appreciate the information; I will remember it when I am in your country but, you are in my house now.

12. Learn the language before you profess to be an expert on someone's culture. This way we can at least attempt to take you seriously.

13. Sleeping with someone of a another color or nationality does not make you open-minded.

13. Put some clothes on. Your ignorance is showing.
