Sorry - I wouldn't have bothered in this situation. I was more thinking about a family member that says racist things around you? Like I said, as a kid we knew we couldn't see or be around one of my grand fathers because he said the n word and colored people. It wasn't "ok" because he was older. It was a hard no. I defriended a number of acquaintances when they would make racist remarks about Obama. They didn't have to like his policies but they couldn't be racist.
Oh, gotcha! Yeah I have problems with the n word and blatant racial remarks too.
Otoh, my sons had a grandfather that used the n word among other racial names. He was good as gold and would give anyone, regardless of race, the shirt off his back if they needed it but he just used these offensive names. I didnt keep my kids away from him as he truly was a loving grandfather, but they grew up knowing that it was wrong and not it use those words and they don't.
