I am a 60 year old white woman. My step daughter’s children and grandchild are mixed race, and I love them all. I’ve been in their lives for 20+ years ,but still feel a certain discomfort that I am doing something wrong. For example, I thought my step daughter would enjoy a show I’ve been watching, called The Residence , in which the main character is a black, female ,old school detective who is also a birder. I’ve have thoroughly enjoyed the show. When I described the characters and plot, she interrupted and changed the subject. This has happened on other other occasions, the abrupt cut off and change of subject. Is it wrong to say the characters are black and white. That’s kind of the conflict in the story. I don’t want to offend, but by the time they leave I have a super high anxiety level and question everything I said. To be fair, I’m unable to finish most of what I say , before I’m cut off. Just feeling confused and dejected.
