I’ve argued with them about their racist views so many times before, provoking hostile reactions, but there’s just no changing them I think because of the colonial mentality that’s very much ingrained in their heads. How should I respond?



Excise the words racist, colonial mentality, and the like from your vocabulary.

Make no statements purporting to criticize, understand or explain your parents’ motivations.

Speak solely about how you feel about your boyfriend: He makes me feel special, I enjoy his company, he’s very smart, whatever is truthful.
