Every time my mother and I are having a conversation about my Indigenous Health Studies Class she insists on making racist comments on how horrible aboriginals are, and how they are all alike yadda yadda yadda. I always either keep my mouth shut or roll my eyes, but tonight took the cake and I got ticked off. Just because you had a bad experience with a person of a different race doesn't mean that every aboriginal is a terrible person. And she goes on complaining about how they all live in "the hood", while a majority of our cities aboriginal population does in fact live closer downtown, not every single one is, and not every single one is causing havoc like she likes to believe. And tonight our fight escalated and she ended up crying. How do I go about this topic without so much conflict! Like tonight she admitted she was racist and I told her yes I agree, then she was extremely offended that I called her a racist even though she was the one who said it not me!
