My sister is a bigot

I know the title is shocking, but I am soooo mad at her that I can't even stand to be around her. The other night, she called me on my cell while I was at the grocery store and asked me if I wanted to pick her up at the college and take her home. I had ordered something from one of her customers, and she had it, so I could get my stuff and drop her off. No big deal. I had my oldest in the car(reluctantly-he hates going places with me now, he's way too mature and cool). When I picked her up, she started talking about the guys she was meeting on EHarmony. I'm glad she's doing it, she needs to meet somebody.

Everybody needs Somebody, sometime... I digress.

Anyway, I noticed something as she was talking. I interrupted and asked her,
"Did you make one of your qualifications 'only white men'?"

She applied in the affirmative, and from there, we launched into a huge fight!

Racist!

She says she doesn't find herself attracted to anyone other than white men.

To that, I gave her a list of men she was attracted to that were indeed, not white.

She says they were only exceptions to the rule. She compared not liking "darker" men to not liking short men.

Logistics! I shouted.

How can you not like a man because of the color of his skin? You are really limiting yourself, especially in San Diego! I said.

You're just saying that because you're married to a black man! She spat.

Yeah, that's my goal...To get every white woman I know married to a black man. *dripping with sarcasm* Stupid!

I basically threw her out of my car at my parent's house, and I haven't felt the same about her since. I don't want to be around her. I am totally disgusted, and I can't believe someone that close to me is so close-minded!

My oldest was really paying attention to the argument, and I could tell it really bothered him. After she got out, he said..."I don't want to only date one color of girls. I have already liked all different girls."

At least someone is listening to me...

I know, right??? I just checked out your blog, and I am sure we are related somewhere down the line...

That is outrageous! I know how frustrating it is to have completely different views from your family. And your son sounds like a smart cookie!
