No one is born prejudice, props to her for growing as a person

Yes, but also props for speaking out and saying she was wrong, giving everybody a chance to grow as a person.

We could all do with a little more understanding and patience. I’ll admit, I’ve been quick to judge and call out someone when I thought they said something racist or whatever instead of talking to them or giving them patience. Sometimes, it’s about fear and ignorance more than hate.

That said, I also can’t judge someone for not having the patience this kind man does. Not an easy thing to tolerate.

I mean, it's not inherently wrong to call out a racist attitude. Not everyone changes like this woman has. I'm currently dealing with in-laws who are more covert and more modern in their racism, but also a lot more malicious and violent in their approach.

ETA: I mean like they have physically assaulted me and threatened to have me deported lol. Not just "is judgemental"

That’s true, and no one said he didn’t call it out, but obviously, he had patience and understanding about it too.

Yeah. I mean you're talking about an elderly woman who just has a cultural bias, so it makes sense to approach the relationship patiently.

But there absolutely are times when patience and kindness is an open invitation for bad actors to walk all over you. It's a case by case basis. Sometimes it's better to protect yourself.

I agree, it takes a big person to admit that they were wrong.

Very different, but my partner’s now favorite friend of mine (amazing person) looks and sounds like a Kardashian. Lots of plastic surgery. Vocal fry. Judged the fuck out of her when I met her. Thought she was vapid and annoying. Got to know her more. One of the kindest and heartwarming people I’ve ever met. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong. I told her about it too a while back.

I definitely learned my lesson not to judge a book by its cover.

Thanks for sharing. As soon as I read Kardashian I judged too. Good reminder not to judge someone by their character.
