To me it comes down to respect, tbh. A lot of my family is pretty narrow minded, but only some of them are disrespectful of others.
My mom is overtly racist, and believes that everyone on earth is scrambling to get into America to live a quiet suburban WASP-y life. You’re supposed to live on a quarter acre, mow your grass every weekend, graduate high school, go to college, get married, work the same job for 48 years, women are supposed to be housewives, and this is what everyone wants. Ask any random person anywhere on the planet and their wildest dream is to live in Plano, Texas, or Champaign, Illinois. And if you’re not in for that dream, my mom thinks you must be a communist.
That’s a narrow mindedness I cannot tolerate.
My older sister wants that life, she thinks it’s the best life, she doesn’t understand people who don’t want that life, but she doesn’t think less of people who want something else. That’s a narrow mindedness I can tolerate.
