A scientist who often gets racist messages on Twitter has charmed the internet with his response to the hatred.
Abdul, who goes by @Advil on Twitter and is also an award-winning astrophotographer shared some of the discriminatory direct messages he often gets, including “Go to ur country leave ours alone” and “Abdul, get the f*** where you come from!”
Recently he shared an exchange he had with a Twitter user.
Abdul wrote: “my favourite thing in the world is responding to my hateful messages and seeing how fast I can change their mood."
One such message began:
Shut the f*** up and go back the f*** wherever u came from then p***y.
In response, Abdul told the man who messaged him: "u look really nice in your icon. What do u use to whiten your teeth like that [sic]."
Seemingly taken aback by Abdul’s message, the guy backtracked: “I’m pretty nice usually jus a lil sick rn.”
My girlfriend does it I don’t really prefer it but I liked the pic
I like ur facial hair wish I had some.
The scientist, having completely turned the conversation from vitriol to facial care, continued: ‘I use activated charcoal capsules. Pull them apart and brush with them. It looks/tastes weird but works wonders on polishing teeth.
The reformed (?) troll asked him - where does one get activated charcoal capsules?
Abdul: "any drugstore like cvs. [sic]"
“Appreciate it well sorry to have been rude man have a good night,” the guy told Abdul, who told him “sleep well homie love u.”
Astonishingly, the troll responded: “love u to gn.”
What just happened?
People were impressed by his patience
And Abdul gave some insight into how he remains calm
