(pt1) My bf’s distant family member was saying some racist shit in front of me and I called him out and calmly tried to explain what he was saying was ignorant-he kept talking over me and not listening and I finally just started laughing at him when he

I mean as a socialist guy with a pretty liberal family, whose girlfriend is from a conservative family, I don’t think it’s my place to call them out. My girlfriend has the same politics as me, if she wants to call her uncle on that bullshit he says, she can do it herself. I don’t think it’s my place to argue with HER family, even when we disagree. If her and her dad are having a respectful political conversation, I’ll chime in, but I’m not ARGUING with her family. Just me though.

That’s the thing I wasn’t trying to argue he just kept getting louder and I finally stopped talking- the whole “conversation” lasted maybe a minute but my bf called me an asshole for even speaking up about it

Like don’t get me wrong, they make me mad when they say backwards shit, but it’s not my place as the niece’s boyfriend to start shit with her uncle unless it’s about me. Like when he was calling me “her girlfriend” because he heard I was a “liberal with long hair” yeah I told him that wasn’t appropriate. But for some thing he said in the abstract, I don’t think it’s my place to call him on it.

Like, if one of them insults me specifically, I’m gonna shut it down. When he was on the girlfriend shit I said “I’m just as much a man as you are, bud” and then he backed off. But when he says some backwards shit about general politics, I’m not the one telling him he’s wrong, I’ll leave that to his own relatives.

It’s more like I was having a conversation with him about something else already he said some racist shit and I just told him it wasn’t okay and he immediately raised his voice and wouldn’t stop talking over me no matter what I was saying so I dropped it

I didn’t even make it remotely political, I just said people are allowed to do what makes them comfortable and create a safe space as long as they’re respecting others as well, (in regards to him complaining about an advertised poc event because “white people don’t do that”)
