MODERATORS
 

They're a very old white person, and they will never stop watching race conspiracies in mainstream US news. So there's no use in trying to change things right?

I wish I could sit at the dinner table with the rest of my partner's family without this hyper-racist person sitting with us. I've once cried myself to sleep for three nights straight after a dinner. What this person said was bad enough that I would've preferred they called me a slur instead.

They specifically asked my partner if they were a insert my race-sympathizer. As if to be my race is to be the same as a Nazi, and that its weird to have sympathy for people of my race. No one counts my race as white, btw. My people also have some socialist history so they might automatically suspect communist relation with every insert my race person they meet. They read a Nazi magazine disguised as normal news, so I think they think communists are a threat worse than Nazis.

No, blow up on them, otherwise it'll get worse and poison your relationship, frankly your partner should've already done it for you

This really doesn't require nuance or walking on egg shells, you're 110% in the right and they're being disgusting shits just for tolerating it, you dont have to put up with emotional abuse for sake of someone dogshit political opinions

Rip the bandaid off and find out where your partner really stands, you'll feel better in the long term either way
