Because it's not about what racist uncle thinks, it's about what he's doing, but thanks for helping racist uncle by misrepresenting the situation entirely.

You're not changing what racist uncle is doing or thinking no matter what you do. I deal with racist uncle too, you know. I'm busy radicalizing the kiddos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're not going to change my mind or convince me what I am doing is hopeless either, yet here you are still talking.

It's almost like we speak and call people out on wrongdoing because of principle and not for results.

It's almost like that's more important and sets a positive example for everyone else around that racist uncle's behavior isn't just silently tolerated out of a misguided sense of hopelessness.

And I'm gonna keep saying it even though it won't get through to you. Aunt Bible Thumper.
