I'm sure most people can relate to parents being homophobic, racist, sexist or transphobic etc.
But I'm just really sick of this. I respect my parents but if I keep quiet that means I think it's okay.
Bad things happen because good people do nothing!
How do you deal with it?
Like, one time my mum just started dragging the ISIS and then she mentioned Muslims. I tried to tell her the difference between Muslims & the EXTREMIST and she just wouldn't listen. The media has brainwashed people! I challenged her saying KKK were white Christians and that shut her up which is a surprise because as much as I love her, she's so stubborn.
My dad once said all white people are racist but he said this ages ago when I was like 8. Maybe his views have changed. So I thought my school teacher was racist, my friends were racist and every white person I knew didn't like me due to the colour of my skin. Now I know this isn't true thanks to the internet and educating myself but how do you deal with that?
My mum is homophobic and I really dislike it because I hate it when minorities (I'm black if that's not obvious) are mean to other minorities. We're all fighting the same enemy and deserve equality.
So, when your parents are discriminatory, do you keep quiet or try to educate them?
Sometimes I wonder why God created minorities

nnn.
Of course, racism won't go when the old generation dies out (and that's going to happen over time, not in one day). And not to mention, parents heavily influence their children based on their views like I pointed out in the OP.
If it wasn't for Tumblr (credit to SJWs) I'd probably have very very ignorant views.

how old are u, sis?
get a job and leave your house

I'm 17 and it's my day off

I try to have debates where I pretend to entertain their ideas and then challenge every single aspect to them one step at a time. With my parents, at least. I think you really have to wait for the oldies to die. They are so stubborn.

Girl I feel ya. My mom lowkey thinks all black people are violent thugs. Even my brother said there's nothing wrong with a white person saying the N word I don't even try to argue it though. I literally just ignore it, because I know there's a very small chance I'll be able to change their minds. As long as they're not openly expressing their thoughts towards those people then I'll just look the other way, I don't find it worth it to waste my time on that. I just thank god every day that I managed to not turn out that way as well.

Thanks

this tbh

Did they lie or what, though?

I just stay shut. I let them talk and be like in my mind:

I guess it's a generational thing sis, at least we can know that when our generation is their age, our views will hopefully be a lot more accepting

nn your sig im done

My mum watches I am Cait, she is semi trasfobic cuz she likes this lil game sha made herself, she like to guess with of them girs is organic and withc one is not, as she says, but all in all she loves Cait... She hates gays tho

I have the same situation. Not just my mom but a lot of my cousins and aunt&uncles... Religion plays a large part into some of it. My mom says racist things about everyone including black people, has outdated sexist views about women, she's homophobic, judges Jewish and Muslim people, and is incredibly transphobic. Sometimes I try to call her out on ignorant things she says, but I don't think she cares to change or sees why its wrong. Its mostly done in a 'joking' or stereotyping way instead of a thing of hate. She would never treat anyone differently or disrespect them to their face. She also thinks all white people are racist and despises Caitlyn Jenner
My mom is actually friends with all kinds of people and would be accepting of a gay child (so she says) never a trans person though..... Funny enough I had a huge argument with my cousin because of his extreme religious and hateful views. He's not really racist but incredibly homophobic, transphobic and has outdated sexist views. We haven't spoken in 3 weeks, I kinda cut him off and I'm not sad about it. For my mom though, I'll just wait until I move out. There's no changing her mind and I don't want to argue with her, espcially if she's not openly discriminating

Edit: My mom actually watches RU Paul and I am Cait too, yet she's really transphobic. What a mess

Try to have thoughtful discussions with them instead of trying to go on the offensive and instantly change their views- that makes anyone uncomfortable and not willing to have a serious conversation.

Thank you KareBear for actually giving a good response in this thread!! Glad I'm not the only one. Sorry about your cousin though, I hope he educates himself.
My mum actually is a bit transphobic she doesn't understand it. Once we were discussing Caitlyn Jenner and my mum said, 'So she can finally be her true self.' and I was like you got it, and then she just denied it
For the people who are saying 'wait until you move out'. I'm going to have children one day. What if my child is gay, bi-sexual or transgender? Or marries someone from a different race or religion. Don't you care that your parents will treat them right so you don't have to go through discriminatory **** that your children may?
