Robin, just leave her alone. I'm as angry about Marie Anne's prejudice as you are, and it is immensely frustrating to hear people regurgitate obnoxious learned views which they haven't analysed, but there is nothing to be gained here. Some people do not want a balanced view, it can lead to their personal discomfiture and their like-minded friends distancing themselves from them. Many people grow up being indoctrinated to some degree, and their circle of friends and their families are united by certain views and attitudes. You can't really expect her to abandon those comforts by forming different opinions, even if she wanted to. She might not have the personal strength to live with the consequenses. Best to just ignore it, which is what I am going to be doing from now on. |
