Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes, he/she is extremely ignorant!.
And yet, I don't think there is much you can do- it's hard to really change someone's mind!. Try introducing this person to other people who share the opposite opinion than him; if there's a lot of people who believe something outside of his own idea of what's right, then maybe he wont find these things "crazy"!. Show him/her a short person playing basketball, or watch guys play tennis with him- it's on TV all the time!

I think the best wya to get through is to be persistant, and dont expect fast results!. He/she needs to be accustomed to all these new ideas you are introducing to him/her, and it might take a while to get used to!.

You can try and show he/she that some of the things he/she believes isn't true, but you can only do so much if the person is close-minded and refuses to try and understand!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
