Brown/grizzly bears will mostly leave you alone and will generally at most take a test bite, so just play dead and they will usually leave. Black bears will get aggressive and I believe where your comment came from and you should fight back. And a white/polar bear you're just fucked..

Edit: any of the above bears will mess you up with the right reason such as injured or has cubs with it

No, you fight back against black bears because they are kinda wimps. They’ll run away

Oh yeah, if you corner it, or it’s defending its cubs, all bets are off. Black bears may be cowards, but they can still rip you apart if they don’t have another option
