Being on the internet should require a license, like for driving.

All it needs in the curriculum really is one thing: Do not believe anything on the internet unless you have the "W Questions" answered: Who, what, where, when. Then if it turns out to be a true story/quote, anwer the "Why" of the Story/Quote and voila. I mean, even if he said it, why in the world would you believe the premise knowing the Who.

If you just consume shit, it doesn't even matter if you think you are racist (in this case), you still perpetuate a racist ideology to other equally 'gullible' people. Germany didn't become Nazi Germany because everybody hated the Jews (or communists before that) all along or those that did would have acted on that, but because they were told why hating jews was sth they should do because of what they are about to do. Then some unwittingly and some wittingly spread it along until enough are convinced to go along.
(Insert whatever other propaganda).

Except those dumbasses did not have a way of checking those Claims within a minute or 5, unlike todays dumbasses. (Nor the means to share their thoughts millionfold.)

So yeah, even 'only' being stupid and believing racist thought would be plenty terrible on it's own considering the ease of communication and plenty inexcusable considering the availability of information.
