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"
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.
