Re: My parents have racist friends and it really bothers me

Let me just add these people aren't even your friends, they're your parents' friends. You do not get a say in who your friends' parents are.

This. If they were your friends, cutting ties with them would be fine because that's your personal decision. But they're not your friends, they're your parents' friends, and so it's their choice whether they want to remain friends with these people or not.

op

As I've said in other comments, I'm not trying to have a say in who their friends are. I haven't said "quit being friends with them or I'll quit speaking to you", I'm trying to understand why they find racism/homophobia acceptable qualities in a friend.

And in the case of Jane and Bob, the racism isn't even the main issue with them. The fact that they're total flakes who have no consideration for other people's time, which my mom herself has complained about multiple times, has me questioning why they remain friends with them.

Plus I really have a problem with the fact that Bob told me my mom said I was a disappointment to her. If someone tells your kid that you said they were a disappointment, and you didn't say that, but you have no problem being friends with someone who said you did, it sounds like you don't really care much about your kid, and that's hurtful.
