Mom called this morning and said I'm not welcome anymore.

Mom says I'm too mean to her and dad because I called them out for making racist statements. They were blaming Boeings troubles with their planes on DEI in their maintenance staff.

Me: are you saying that the problem is with people of color are working on the planes?

Dad: well, that's what I've been seeing on the news.

Me: Fox?

Dad: I watch other stations.

Me: NewsMax? Is the same station, Dad. They have the same people on them. Watch something else. Challenge yourself.

Dad: they're the only ones to show how these illegals are destroying our country!

Me: what? I'm really disappointed in this Dad. You raised me to be a good person and love others. Don't make racist statements and expect me to not call you out."

They continued to make some very unpleasant statements and, well I started to get loud. These people were betraying everything they had raised me to believe.

I was raised southern Baptist and while I'm still a believer, I'm not a hardliner. I guess I'm more of a Jesus fanboy. I keep telling my parents we're supposed to take care of our sick and poor, but all they see is me getting further from God. I'm sure their pastor had something to do with the call this morning. I guess it is what it is, but I'm sad to see my parents would rather listen to MAGA.

Tldt; my parents are racist boomers and got mad I called them out. So now I'm not welcome.
