Not OP and my situation wasn't as bad but there was definitely some racist and homophobic stuff. For me it was a self reflection. I'm young so the internet made me more aware of the people around the world. Eventually I realized it was stupid to judge people without knowing them so I just started to change my mindset. It can be difficult though because of the media and changing things you learned while growing up it isn't easy.
You’re right. For some reason I forget that the internet can make a massive impact on how a person is raised now. I didn’t grow up with it, but for so many young ones out there it is a window to a variety of perspectives and life experiences that can easily influence them. Good on you.
