If you do it , you better do it well , because you come off super defensive . Like how dare someone question the cowboys ! The statement I remember 2014 comes off as defensive ? I figured it was a reminder , our defense has always been average at best , but when our offense plays like this which is better than 2014 . Any game is inherently winnable . Jab jab jabbity jab jab . <| sep |> I understand his not wanting to start an argument with ignorant people who will never change regardless of what you say , who he has to see often at family events but that doesn ' t mean you just put up with it or let it happen . People like your boyfriend and his family are the reason this ignorance still thrives today . Nobody takes a stand against it because it ' ll be awkward . They have no concept of what this all means to someone who didn ' t grow up white in a white country . Look at it this way , if you ever got married , these people could never be your family . They would never truely welcome you . This situation is why many people in North America nowadays are ignoring bloodties and making their own families based on shared values and community .
