    ”But he’s always so nice to me and my friends and family, who are exclusively white, he’s never racist around them.”

      Damn, that’s totally what she’d say. Excluding the whiteness part. She hasn’t reflected on that.

        That’s my mom. She doesn’t really think about stuff like that at all. I still get bullied by my dad whenever I date black people or any POC and I’m well into my 20’s.

          My dad had an underlying hate towards others when I was little but it mostly sizzled out by the time Obama was president (2008). 2024 it’s a kerosene fire. Oddly when I was younger he went on a rant about Jews, yet now he seems fine with Jewish people and just hates everyone else.

    My mom pretty much had an existential crisis over this when she made a friend at work and her husband turned out to be Trump supporter. And this is in Canada. It makes you wonder where girls like that even find guys like that.

        I’ve seen Confederate flags flying off the backs of pick up trucks on the west coast of Canada… Amazing how stupid people can be
