How many of you have close relatives that have borderline, if not blatant, racist opinions? At what point do you express your disapproval towards their opinions.

Humm.. a lot of them and I'm concerned about it when I think about it. I know some folks from the police (in germany) and they have extremely violent and racist opinions. Also I do archery for a sport and some people there can really freak you out with their opinions.
Two or three years ago there was a case where a 15-year old turkish boy who got in a fight with a bunch of police officers and ended up in hospital for weeks. That guy I know wasn't involved directly but knew the guys and was totally on their side with words like "he deserved it anyway" and "his parents live off our tax money"
Especially in the german forces as well as police people are more racist than you may think.

my grandma used to say she didn't really like the Chinese because they 'look a bit shifty, like they're always up to something'.
I told her she couldn't say that but I'm not sure I changed her mind on the effect of eye shape on generalised national characteristics.

Why does everyone think that GeorgesIV is a racist?
He is fine fellow in my opinion, except for the sexist and darky pics that he posts.- darky pics?74LEO

To answer the OP, it's probably not worth your while to counter racist sentiment in the family unless one or more of the following conditions is present:
1) They are spouting "facts" that you can somewhat easily refute. It won't stop them, but it'll make them stumble if you can point to a hard cold fact that counters hwat they are saying
2) They are ignorantly racist. As in they honestly think what they are saying isn't mean spirited or is just common thought. This happens with older more well meaning people who just grew up in a different time and may not have heard any other perspective
3) You don't care if you get in a screaming match that won't end with compromise and may end in you not speaking to select portions of your family for an indefinite amount of timeMy half-brothers are the kind of mild racist that just throw out an errant thought from time to time and when pressed on it, will either brush the matter away or back down from their position.
- locustsloth is it better to say nothing at all or to say something even if it's a simple as "i don't like that"ohhhhhsnap
- i'd certainly voice my displeasure at them saying it.i was more talking about trying to change their mind/actionslocustsloth

I think racism is a thing of the past,
I see the generation that came right after mine and they didn't have nearly all the experience I've had with people openly stating that I should leave their shop, telling me to go back to africa, trowing me eggs from cars (I shit you not),
what I see now is a bunch of politically correct pussies who like to call everything racism when actually they have no clue what racism is,
I've said it before and will say it again, I rather have someone tell me what he thinks with a straight face than some two faced cunt pretending to be P.C.anyways, we can keep on pretending things will magically better as soon as everyone is scared of speaking their mind but personally I don't want to live in this world,
blacks, browns, yellows, whites, reds and greens all cunts,
there I said it- A black guy once threw a banana peel at me, for no reason whatsoever. I shit you not.monospaced
- where you sitting in a cart?GeorgesIV
- I was getting into my car, and he yelled something racist at me, and threw the peel at my car and me.monospaced
- This is the kind of shit that ruins your day because you'll never know why,.. what a fuckerGeorgesIV
- It made no sense. SF is a pretty racist place too, and it goes both ways.monospaced
- oh there was a reason.ohhhhhsnap
- GeorgesIV, "you don't want to live in this world" ?ohhhhhsnap
- did your sentence drop off?ohhhhhsnap
- if there was a reason, it wasn't because I provoked anything, it was because of pure racismmonospaced
- guess I should have said "no good reason"monospaced
- I'm not puerile enough to say that corny " I don't want to live on this planet anymore" phrase, every 10 sec :) I love this worldGeorgesIV
