Yeah, I'd definitely have your back you were my best friend and we hungout all the time. No reason for him to not tell him that you're a responsible and smart person who works and pays for all your things and you take turns paying for things. That should be more than enough to make them like you. I think it's kind of rude of him to tell you all the things his grandparents say about black people. I'm more of get to know the person before say negative things.
His stupid grandma belongs to the wrong crowd.Racists are never good company.
Sad that your friend had to grow up among bigots.
And, btw, you don´t have to justify or explain yourself to them.You are you. You are only responsible for your actions.
They´ll never understand that, though.Ignore them.

I used to tell my mother. I fought my mother tooth and nail for ages on these same things.
In middle school I had a best friend named Heather. Heather was moving away to Europe. Her father was military. She was having a goodbye sleepover. I asked to go. My mom said yes.
Wait.
I thought better of it a day or so later and reasked...why? Because Heather was black. Heather ....in my moms mind was not the name of black girls. It hit me like a tons of bricks. So I re-asked. I told her Heather was black and could I still go.
The answer was no.
It was from that time forward that I fought. I would counter every horrible thing she ever said. I do not know how many times she threatened to disown me because I refused to carry on that hate and false rhetoric.
Your friend does not get it yet. He probably never will. Unfortunately, like his grandparents, his ideologies will never change.
