Express Your Concerns

Dealing with a family member's racism can be challenging, but addressing the issue is crucial for fostering understanding and promoting positive change.

Start the conversation by expressing your concerns in a non-confrontational manner. Start by gently probing their beliefs and assumptions about race. You might ask questions like, "What do you think causes people to hold racist views?" or "Have you ever considered where your beliefs about race come from?" Use the Socratic method to point out inconsistencies in their arguments or beliefs. For example, you might ask, "You say you believe in equality, but how does that align with the racist jokes you make?" or "If you value fairness, why do you treat people differently based on their race?"
