My friends are racist - how can I stop them?

Tagged as: Friends<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (8 October 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 8 October 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My 17 year old boyfriend of a year is an Indian Sikh [im 15] which is not at all a problem, but when i first told my friends about him they were being, well,racist; just because he wears a Turban and is Indian. When I did tell them, their immature reaction made me quite upset and he was of course hurt by this.

Why do they do it? How can i make them stop? Or is it simply pointless.

TasteofIndia agony auntI just want to let you know that you are a great person. Good for you, not letting yourself be swayed by your friends. Your friends sound a little ignorant and a little immature (no offense).

Judging people for what color their skin is and what they wear is what weak people do. You just stand by your man and I really think that you need to voice your feelings to your friends. They need to know that their judgments and comments are way out of line. They also need to know that every time they hate on your boyfriend, they hate on you and that you are REALLY hurt by their narrow mindsets.

If they continue, then they aren't really good friends are they? Give them a chance to change and if they don't - I think it's time to look for new friends.

Stay strong, sweetness. Your relationship sounds wonderful!

XxAngelDust89xX agony auntThey are being immature and they are no friends of yours. Continue to stand by your man,and to HADES with what other people think.

And I give you a standing O by the way. It is very mature and very brave of you to stand up for people instead of sinking down the their piss poor level.
