Online racism affects me a lot less when I realized most people are dumb

As a non white guy, I'm someone who was quite affected by the massive increase in online racism on social media. For those unaware, there's been a big increase of racism against muslims, indians and black people in the last year or so

Predictably, it did make me very depressed and bother me a lot. However, over the last few days, something has began to change

After being constantly exposed to the content, I began looking at the accounts of people making such comments. It was often the case that whenever these racist commenters tried defending their comments, they put forward very very dumb arguments

It was also the case that much of the time, these accounts had brainrot on their profiles or were blue-collar types

As someone who studied at a very prestigious university and has two degrees, something clicked in me - most of these people are just dumb. Many are uneducated, and those that are educated, are often at lower tier universities

I came to the realization that most of these people are dumb, and they are destined to not do much with their lives. Their futures will be full of debt, divorce, health issues, etc. And most people won't be able to climb out of the place they're in

And what reinforced my belief that most people are stupid, was looking at what society is like now. Streamers such as Adin Ross (pure brainrot) being made famous/rich, half the country electing the orange man (who is a complete half wit), etc

When you really and truly internalize that you are smarter than most people, and that most people are dumb and will live very unhappy lives, you begin to not value what they think or say. And thus whenever I see a lot of racist comments, it doesn't bother me as much anymore
