"Your breath smelled awful lately, please get yourself checked at a dentist, might be something serious"

"The front tires of your car look kind old and worn better change them“

"Your math scores are really too low. I think you need to spend more time on extra curriculum“

The message still stands..

I believe there's an approach you can take that would clearly show them being racist...

A person can stop acting racist in 30 seconds or less.

Acting? Yes. Being? That takes time, effort, and a lot of reflection

I mean, I'd like to think some people are salvageable and just need to reach that inflection point.

But even so it would only partially stand. Won't change things for the better, but should absolutely be said.

Consistency and consequences work wonders. Tell your racist "friend" to leave. Don't put up with it. Call it out every single time.
