My dad is a racist. [I Need Advice]

So, we just watched the verdict of the Derek Chauvin trial, and I was almost in tears, happy that he was convicted. My dad starts talking about how there’s another camera angle of the video of him kneeing on Floyd and that he wasn’t on his neck. My dad is acting like he wants to prove that a white cop wouldn’t murder a black man. My dad also is racist towards Arabs, thinking that they’ll be dangerous which is so wrong. It pisses me off, and I almost don’t want to have a relationship with him anymore. Any advice?

Wow. Unbelievable some of the responses you're getting to this message.

No. Scratch that. Entirely believable.

Advice? You aren't required to have a relationship with something simply because, by an accident of birth, you happen to share some DNA. If he wants to have a relationship with you, he needs to meet you halfway. If he's not willing to do that and he expects you to change to accommodate him, then you have to ask yourself how much you really need him in your life.
