Do you think it is ever okay to alienate a family member if they are toxic to you?

Can't really relate, my folks, brothers and one or two uncles & their families I'll run through a wall for. But I have some distant relatives that are racist assholes I don't know nor ever care about. Their toxicity my great parents kept me separated from before I had to even make that decision. I think you know the answer, it is just hard to make.
