thanks guys. i really appreciate the advice.
im thinking of just reasoning with him and just give it a chance. but there is a risk of him breaking out in a fight which i do not want to happen. we were planning on playing video games for a bit anyways.
but knowing this from experience, i know that a loss will just anger him inside since that first impression of anger is already fueled. my friend is very good at videogames too while my cousin is not. and i know that taking a loss from someone of a bad label can be hazardous in the atmosphere for everyone in the room.
but i really wish people would follow your advice too which is what i am telling myself too. i did come up with this rule for myself too which i think i said in an earlier post, where if a label/sterotype bothers you, you simply just dont care and go on with your business. idk but i think i am starting to derail this thread with this little rant.
anyways, he really respects me since we've helped each other since he moved here in america (during his middle school years). now just convincing him is whats in the question.
