No ! Democracy means you either wear a blue tie or a red scarf ! Interpartisan marriages are outlawed ! Interpartisan babies are drowned in Lake Michigan ! <| sep |> I really fucking hate emojis . Emoticons 4 lyfe <| sep |> We are pretty much in the same boat . My husband is half mexican , making our son mixed . My mother is the most racist person I know . She says the N word like it ' s nothing . I don ' t think shes ever called a person of color by their actual nationalities , it ' s always a slur . Luckily my father doesn ' t have a racist bone in his body so I can have my family around him comfortably . But my mom is awful . I remember when I was pregnant with my son my mom said luckily only to me , my husband wasn ' t there something along the line of Oh I am so happy to have a grand child , I just wish my grandson could have been fully white . I just said he is part mexican and you will love him or you don ' t have to know him , ever . That shut her up fast . She always makes it a point to exclude my husband from her racism by saying things like oh but not you , you ' re different which actually is worse in my opinion . I have gone off on her for it over the course of my entire life . It never changes a thing sadly . At least she has finally learned when she visits and she says a hateful slur in my house her visit will end there . But seeing as we live about 900 miles away from her now I don ' t know if that ' s a sign of real growth or just her not wanting to stay in a hotel until her flight home .
