How do you deal with a racist sibling?
my sister is so racist and offensive it drives me insane when I’ve brought it up with her she said that she has every right to be racist. She makes snide, hurtful remarks about my boyfriend (he is a different race to me) and says that “people shouldn’t date outside their race because then eventually everyone would be the same” I mean how do you try and get through to someone who is that narrow minded? she’s 18 btw
Unfortunatly you cant change a person. You can however cut off communication and refuse to have a relationship with them if they cant atleast respect you enough to keep their mouth shut. As wrong as her beliefs are, she entitled to them and can think as she pleases. She needs to grow up and atleast realize though that you dont say certain things in front of people and you have to respect others. If she cant….you cut her off until she can.
I haven’t spoken to her since february when we had that discussion, however that hasn’t stopped her her childish remarks and it hurts. She now says things about me to but I don’t mind those I just wish I knew where her beliefs stem from.
Thats a difficult situation. Unfortunately you can’t change her. I think the best you can do is show through example (which you are doing) and when she starts being offensive simply get up and walk away.
I’m sure it must hurt very badly. But remember that none of us has the responsability to change neither the world, nor the people. Try to understand why she is like that. I supose it is very comon in South Africa, and after all she didn’t choose to be raised in that environment. Be patient, if you are a believer pray to God. Try to improve things, not to make them worse. In time you might see some changes
Thank you for your empathy and advice, South Africa is infamous for it’s racist past that i am well aware of but things have changed and still are changing and my sister like myself was not brought up in a prejudice enviroment
Slap them
My best friend is racist. She’s more scared of others than she is hateful towards them. But she makes a lot of racist jokes, I go along with them because they’re funny and some people get mislead by the fact that I’m laughing about it, thinking I’m racist as well. But I love all people. I’m not really offended by it so I don’t really know what to tell you. Sometimes it does bother me, but I just let it blow because she doesn’t have any intentions but to just make jokes.
