I lost an extremely good friend because she married a man who is the most racist, obnoxious individual I've ever met. I couldn't stand being anywhere near him and so I had to break off contact with her.

My MIL is extremely racist and unfortunately I can't cut her out of our lives. In fact, she's not just racist but just all over offensive on many subjects. I still struggle with how best to deal with her given the relationship, but up to this point I either give a look and don't participate in the conversation or if my daughters are within earshot I will say talk to them saying that we don't talk like that, and we certainly don't think like that.
