To pretext this, I (27/m) am a mixed Native American that was adopted into my stepfathers family after my mothers death. They are all white. I also have a younger sister (23), who is biologically related to my stepfather. She now has a two year old child. That situation is complex but that’s the gist of it.

For the past few years, my uncle has been saying very racist things around me, such as “you’re Indian, but you’re white so it’s okay,” “Indians are always drunks” “Indians always complain so much, the Irish had it worse” etc. I’ve always tried to explain it away or ignore it to keep the peace, because I knew if I ever said anything it would just start an argument.

However this eventually came to a head when I found out they invited 2 neo-nazis (a man and a woman) to our family’s Thanksgiving this year. At the time, I had no idea who the guy was. It wasn’t until February when I discovered this person on Facebook by complete chance that I found out he was very clearly a white supremacist. (S.S. Lightning bolts everywhere, memorabilia from known white supremacists, etc.)

When I discovered this, I messaged my aunt with the hope that they didn’t know, and to warn them. I told her I didn’t want this to turn into an argument. I told her and showed all of the evidence, and she completely blew me off and didn’t take anything I said seriously. She then lied to me and said they hadn’t talked to them since Thanksgiving, even though she was actively promoting these people’s business (they own a massage parlor) less than two weeks before I messaged her

When I asked her if they owned the massage parlor she was promoting, she said something along the lines of “yeah, she gives great massages, you should get one sometime.” After this, I was frustrated and basically told her I know I can’t change their perspective overnight, and that I still love them.

2 days later, I went on her Facebook to find that she was still friends with these people, and had made a post on her Facebook saying “don’t push your beliefs on others” with the emoji of a woman sticking her hand in the air. This made me so angry that I immediately blocked my aunt and uncle, and haven’t spoken to them since.

Fast forward to today. My sister and niece are currently living with my aunt and uncle despite me warning her about everything, and she is no longer talking to me, as I believe that they are feeding her misinformation about what happened. (They are claiming the lightning bolts are “old biker symbols” for example).

I apologize if this is written poorly, I’m typing this on phone and have never used this board before.
