Just stick these people in a forest with a actual bear, christ I've never actually seen a bear in real life but I know going up against one would be suicidal.
Alaskan here, can confirm. Polar bears are evil. They prefer the taste of human flesh over all other food and they have a penchant for hunting children.
I used to be an "extinction is evil" type, but as I grow older I increasingly believe that the power to wipe out an entire species is humanity's greatest strength.
The issue is largely that we're very bad at choosing which species to eradicate.
Black bears will EAT you if you pretend to be dead. You're better off fighting one off as your only slim chance of survival. Polar bears are outright evil, seen enough people defend them and say they're so lovely and poor polar bears etc. You've not seen them hunt.
Hey, when you live in a shithole that's cold all year round, that hardly has any vegetation for you to supplement your diet with, and where nearly everything you're supposed to prey on can easily outrun, outswim, and outfight you, you'd be pretty unreasonable too! Especially when you come across one of those walking cans of spam like those weak-ass hairless apes with their puny strength and pathetic run speed.

Depends on the bear. In Canada we have a saying: If it's black, fight back. If it's brown, lie down. If it's white, say goodnight.

They also don't necessarily kill their prey first and then eat it. They will just start eating, and not really care how long it takes you to die.
Yeah I pointed that out in my other comment. They will eat you alive.
they start from your ass and work their way up while you scream
In a sane world, all polar bears would be removed. Humans are weak.

I just remember it as the opposite of people.
White bear = unreasonably violent
Brown bear = might be violent, might be safe
Black bear = if you aren't intruding, you're safe
Black and White bear = retarded
This killed me.

Black bears are skittish as hell. Loud noises is usually enough to run them off. The only time you will have to fight is if there are cubs nearby.
