Creationism vs. racism

When I try to teach someone bigoted about one topic I do it by pitting another of their bigoted beliefs against it. Creationism vs. racism.

(Act out exaggerated confusion culminating in head exploding).

Basketball training where the players shoot every type of basket (3's layups jumpers from all over) and if they shot below a certain percent from that spot they wouldn't be allowed to take that shot during games.

Other options include singers of famous songs with girls names in them.

Opening scene: Bar, attractive woman with martini, empty seat to her side.
Loser enters: (imagine Jonah Hill type.) loser approaches bar, orders a drink and asks her name in what he imagines is suave but is actually a poor attempt.
She replies, "Carol"
"Are you sure its not "Roxanne"" Which he beings to sing loudly and obnoxiously.
She runs away in disgust.
Camera pans following Loser walking to the other side of the bar see him sit down
Loser: "I don't get it I did exactly what you told me and it didn't work at all"
Switch camera now focused on Sting on the other side of the booth. Pause for a second.
Sting: I don't understand, it always works for me.

Sting: Whats your name?
She turns around and is immediately enamored with Sting. Says, "Megan".
