so we all have at least one racist person in our family, right? mine's my grandpa. he moved from Pennsylvania to Texas, and he absolutely hates Mexicans. is this logical to you guys? how do you handle being in public with someone who can't shut their mouth about other people's race or appearance? it pisses me off to hear him say stuff about people he doesn't even know! he needs help eace:
Just tell him his attitude stinks and you won't be going anywhere with him if he continues behaving in such a shameful way.
Have him move to sprungfield Virgina ... he will fit right in ... every one here is racist If they looked in the mirror and didnt know it was themselves they would hate that person to...... muhahahaah!!!
The racists in my family are double annoying because they're also super religious so they try to hide how they feel and then go to church to repent for it and it makes them feel all better. Terrible cycle of things. I feel like I'm the black sheep all the time.
He has his beliefs and you have yours. I have many racist friends, but Im not going to argue with them everytime they say something rude. It is what it is, but just let him know that saying things like that is offensive to you.
My grandpa is the same. I love him and he is like a dad to me, but he sometimes says some awful thing, that make me very uncomfortable. I always end up telling myself that he has his opinion and I have mine, and that he is from another generation, when racism was the norm. (sorry for my languish.... I'm danish...)
I absolutely can't stand this is. It's no good debating with these kind of people either - they're too fucking stupid. I just treat them how they treat others. This means you have to get incredibly nasty sometimes, but I have found it is the only way to get the point across. I have a Korean boyfriend and I kind of get the point across that I will destroy you if you are racist towards him, why should I give a shit about the feelings of a racist? I think it's bullshit that it's a generational thing as well. But maybe I was lucky to be raised in a family which may have done a lot of other things wrong, but certainly wasn't EVER racist.
dude, i know how you feel my dad is some times like that, i am english so it is more about the pakistani citizens i say to him dude we are all equal. eace:
My grandfather is pretty racist lol Christmas time can be fun. Sitting round the table , he starts boasting about the war. And my dad saying to him, " look shut up, no ones fucking interested in how many Jews you killed during the war "
Don't talk to him or be around him. and when he realizes that you're not with him anymore and asks why , tell him how you feel If he disagrees with you , remain to keep your distance. It's not that very often you can change the view point of an older adult .
