What its like having a racist friend

In truth I dont think shes really that racist she is a great person and 90% of the time shes great but their is a issue of her constantly making childish racist jokes. She has a Mexican boyfriend she keeps making fun of Mexicans and their life style. I am black and I was drying my clothes and she touchedd them and then after touching them said she felt the need to break dance even though they were just regular clothes.

Shes great but its always constant childish remarks in relation to gender and race. She told me that I have to like spicey food cause I'm black. If I wear a white t shirt I look like a rapper she calls even though I don't like rap. She is good but she makes little comments like this daily. The reason I am not so hard on her about it is because shes a drug addict and I see that as a handicap but these kinds of daily comments are so annoying.

I hope I don't sound sensitive or like a cry baby but its daily. Like I said I feel strange about it because she is a amazing person.

I would be offended by her . When she says something like that you should look directly at her and ask her why she says things like that.

@SW-User Cause she thinks its funny. She has told me several times racism is funny and to a extent its true but only if the joke is light hearted and the joke is real. George Carlen said racist jokes all the time but it was ok because it was actually funny.

@bushi2020 I don't find it funny at all. You seem like a nice person and understanding as well.
