A friend I've known for 15 years was spouting basically the same shit to me last night, except he went as far back as basically saying "everyone since Nicholas 2 was a bloodthirsty tyrant." Not those exact words, but very close, just more crass. The implication was "its in Russians nature" :hasan-ok-dude:
I informed him that that was, in fact, racist. I was met with a laugh emoji, and a paragraph about how "Russian isn't a race, it's a nationality."
I told them to go back to their phrenology charts, and that they are no longer coming to my wedding, and their phone number is now blocked.
Idk why I'm posting this here, i guess I'm just looking for validation that I did the right thing. I know I did, but just wish it didn't happen :yea:
Anyone wanna come to my wedding next summer? It appears a spot just opened up!
I banned a guy I was ostensibly friends with for over a decade last minute from my wedding. It was a long time coming and probably happened too late for me to feel any kind of good about it but I want to say good on you.
It's really easy to ignore your convictions because of your history with someone. You did the right thing regardless of whether others agree

Whether or not it was right for you is the only metric for that.

Yeah, don't feel bad about ditching bigots. It can hurt, because they were a worthwhile person aside from the bigotry though.
