My friend is a right wing racist

Is she really a friend or someone you have known a long time and went to school with? Do what J52 advises - what on earth does she bring positively to your life?

Why on earth does her feelings about Trump come into any thing. From my experience a Republican is a Republican and even if attached to a donkey would still be voted in as P.

It sounds like a difficult situation. At least your friend lives in a different country from you, so you’re unlikely to meet her in the local supermarket. I would tell her that you don’t want to discuss politics with her, but if that doesn’t work I think you may need to drop her. It maybe the only solution for you.

Delete her from your WhatsApp if you wish. Put your phone on silent so that it doesn’t annoy you.

I think that right wing racism must colour almost everything that she believes in, I’m not sure how you can find anything to talk about.

I think you have to be tough & pick up the receiver , cut off the call & leave the receiver off the hook. You can do it. Best wishes

You have been friends with this person for a long time. Do you think her comments are exacerbated by tension about the forthcoming election, and that after the result, whatever it is, she may return to being the person you once liked?
I would give it a few weeks more before you sever all connections.

I had a similar dilemma a while ago. I decided to take the 'Remain friends but explain how I felt when cornered.' That lasted a month or so then I couldn't stand it anymore.

I do have another right wing friend. She badly upset a mutual African American friend with a tactless comment. She was big enough to back down from it and apologize. They're still friends. But she's a very Christian lady. She has a real faith, as opposed to just being a church goer. I accept her politics are different to mine. We just don't ever discuss them.

You could attempt to enlighten her with good arguments and factual information, but if she is, as seems likely, brainwashed, it won't work.

If you do decide to cut off contact, I suggest a no holds barred last message to her before you never speak again.

I m afraid friendship and racism cannot ever go in the same sentence for me so she would have gone as soon as I knew she was a racist
You can forgive her being stupid or being politically oppose to your beliefs but racism is unforgivable and she would be off my radar completely Indeed I found out a school friend was racist by her Facebook comments and she is gone absolutely no room in my head or heart for someone with those views just gone full stop

I would avoid her.
Pizza toppings is an option that I can debate with others and not have any falling out over.

Human rights are not.

Yes- we are steering clear of some people, including family. I can agree to disagree over Brexit- although it it getting harder by the day. But sheer and blatant racism, no- no longer.

I think you are right to steer clear of her.

If you want to keep her friendship (do you?) can I suggest you say firmly that politics are off the menu. I was brought up that politics, religion and personal finances were no go areas if it was going to upset anyone. So you are happy to see her but if she strays into politics - just firmly remind her that the conversation will cease. Then its up to her.

Oh, dear. I expect she will take the hint eventually. I usually find it best to avoid politics in general conversation.... ever since Brexit....
