Yes, I understand in that the current administration has not exactly been especially adequate in addressing racial concerns. And the media has been quick to grab onto that constantly magnifying anything they can. I agree in that it’s been just awful.

Personally in my own effort to discover what a lot of people think, I have learned many are more centered than leaning too much either way and find the media twists too much.

Also there has been an increase in racially mixed couples. When I was reading the link I posted my husbands mother is Portuguese and her family speaks fluent Portuguese. I have a beautiful grand niece that is Irish,Scottish,Dutch,English,and African American decent. This country is full of people that immigrated from all kinds of countries and over the years we just all mingled and mixed together.

Yet there are pockets of people that can still have racial fears and insecurities in all classes. That will slowly continue dissipate with time. I have been noticing a gradual change through the years as I have worked with so many families over the years.

There are just going to be things you won’t see eye to eye on with your parents. That’s actually a lot more common than you might think. Adding to that your parents are simple and naive it’s something you will have to develop some patience with. Enlightenment takes time and lots of patience.
