* then it will just fade away and will be forgotten. --- Pretending not to notice is the typical response when there's a "silent-but-deadly" fart in crowded elevator ride to the top floors. The ride will be over soon enough and after reaching our destination, everyone can just get on with their day.

But, in this type of situation, looking the other way, turning the other cheek (or holding one's nose) it definitely NOT the appropriate response. It's short-sighted and cowardly. It's giving those who attack the upper hand. It's allowing their racist and sexist tropes to go unchallenged and unanswered. Silence = weakness.
