I disagree that you should just walk away. When the real Nazis started talking that way about Jews, good people just walked away. What was despicable became acceptable, and it turned out badly. If you have the courage, you should confront that kind of speech. Racism and religious bigotry are not okay. There will always be raciest, bigots, and homophobs but we can't let them own the public space.
