Also, racism and anti-Semitism of some fam members is so subtly expressed. Most know it's wrong, that's why they state it in passive aggressive ways. 🤬 The stupid ones just repeat shit they hear on Fox. Then there are the ones with "inside" knowledge. 🙄
I'm so sick of the petty hate.
I hated experiencing that when my ex-stepdad used to live with us. It always gives me such uncomfortable feelings and so jarring too.
Glad he's not here any more, though not saying that I myself am perfect, but doing my best to unlearn a lot of it that's just imbued in our culture. So I sympathise with you a lot.
My family is full of them. Partners family is full of them. They know my thoughts but they have safety in numbers at family gatherings so don’t hold back. Not looking forward to Christmas and hearing everyone’s opinions on the voice. Or Gaza. Puts me in a shit mood for the holidays every single time.
I suspect the racists/idiots etc can detect my utter dislike and contempt for their views. And yet I listen to them carefully and try to understand what they are saying and why. Something they never seem to reciprocate.
in a way I do not enjoy these discussions at all.
Its not a great time to be Egyptian
