So, I have this close friend, lets call her Mary.
We've known each other for about ten years and I genuinely have a lot of love for her; But she's racist.
She's kind of complex I guess. She went through I faze of being really christian, had a baby with this guy who was pretty racist (but in a not completely filled with hate kind of way, like; "really with the advent of mechanized farm production, slavery was on it way out in the south during the time of the civil war"), she has a gay friend, and once probably five years ago made a comment about how she thought homosexuality was immoral, and then somewhat recently I found out she was dating a girl and now she's anti-christianity.
I didn't really know about her racist tendencies until a couple of years ago. It's all pretty subtle, but we were just talking about something, and she was telling me this story about how she was driving and there was this person who was driving poorly, and she thought to herself "this person is driving like an asian woman," and then lo and behold! it was! an asian woman! lolomg.
Later she was dating this guy who I told a pretty innocent racist joke to: "What did the mexican say when his research paper blew out the window?" "Where you going Essay?" And he went off on me on all these really terrible and stupid racist jokes
Anyway, I was recently on the phone with her and she was just being really stupid and saying stupid shit about Obama and JFK. And, once again it's subtle, but I got the hint that she didn't like Obama because he is black and she didn't like JFK because of his support of civil rights.
Anyway I don't really know what to do. I like her as a person, but she's dumb and a lot of times I think about just ditching her forever. Also I only have like three friends in the world, which makes me feel bad because maybe I'm just using her for her friendship or something.
Sometimes I think I should try and be a good influence on her or something--but my inclination is to just be like "STOP BEING RACIST YOU DUMB HO!" which I feel like isn't the best approach.
Any advice appreciated.
Cliffs: Friends with a nice person (for ten years) but shes kinda dumb or something and more than slightly a racist what should I do?
