He could write essays and put them on the internet for people to disagree with, I guess.

Trying to convince people of something that they're dead set against is exhausting. He describes spending 2.5hrs one night educating her. That was just that one night, and he implies many many more hours personally educating her.

How many people should he have to personalize an education on racism for before he's done enough?
