Should Christians call out elderly family members for racist comments?

It's difficult to know how to handle elderly relatives if they say something racist, here Cassandra Maria explains why it's important to speak up.

You know what they say: "You can’t choose your family." As much as they can be a source of joy, love and support, they can also pose some difficulties that we don’t quite know how to handle. One of those issues is racism.

Yep, we’re straight in at the deep end – what do we do if our family members are racist? And not just any famly members, our grandparents? Of course racism is wrong and we should absolutely let people know when it’s being so disgustingly displayed that it’s not OK. But let’s be honest, with family it can feel very uncomfortable. It’s easy to say that we’d tell them they were wrong if they made a racist comment but in practice, is it as easy as it sounds? How do we do that, and should we?
