They've tried nothing (except chatting with one old woman with severe untreated schizophrenia) and are all out of ideas. And I'm pretty sure facebook is making them more reactionary.
"I'm tired of black people" "why don't they speak up for asians" and "why doesn't anyone do anything about the racist New Black Panther Party." Is just some of the ill informed bullshit I've had to process and respond to lately thanks to the Facebook silo that she and her friends virtually live in.
Any recommendations on how to combat/prevent their facebook brainrot and or help an asian immigrant make friends with black folks when all she does is go to work with other asian folks and occasionally shop at walmart would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I've recommended setting up a block party when this whole pandemic is over since she just moved to a pretty diverse area.
Sounds like she needs to make some friends in general? I don't necessarily think that making black friends is the answer here, since its entirely possible that if she has a falling out with that friend (made more likely by underlying prejudice) she can just fall further into racist reaction.
That said, the easiest way to make friends with anyone is to bond over a shared interest or group activity in an organic way. If you have a diverse set of friends, why not get together and hang out when COVID dies down?
I was honestly surprised how many friends she has but they are literally all asian with the exception of a few white guys. She just does zoom hangouts with them during the pandemic. But I agree getting the racist reaction knocked out before trying to make new friends is a good idea. Better that than have someone else deal with those views.
