I want to call my father a racist.
What do you think when you hear this word?
I think of a person able to hurt others on the basis of their race.
If you think your dad is racist, you should call him out for his behavior. It's not ok for him to be racist.
If I tell my father that he is racist, I will get into an argument and will be considered a disrespectful kid. I just want to avoid arguing.
It's true that you might get into an argument, but if you don't say anything then your father will continue saying and doing racist things. I think it would be good if you politely let him know that some things that he says are racist and hurtful.
