My partner is Hispanic and if my family were racist at all toward her, I would disown them. Thankfully, they're all as accepting as they are us being a same-sex couple. But like homophobia, racism is one of those things I never tolerate, not from anyone.

@Carver well you gotta be respectful toweards the elderly.. they might be wrong... but thats the problem

@Marceline That’s an old, outdated way of thinking. Respect is earned, not given by right, even from the elderly.

@Carver well its the tradition and traditions are important

@Marceline Not when they’re not logically sound.
