A good friend who I have known for 5 years introduced me to one of his childhood friends a while back. Everything was fine at first, and we got along fine, but everyone told me that his friend is actually a huge racist. I didn't really care since he wasn't all that racist to me.
Then one day when our mutual friend was gone, he started being really racist to me, calling me the n-word and whatnot with no instigation whatsoever. Needless to say this got me really upset and I left. Later my friend came to me and told me that the other guy didnt really mean what he was saying, and that he just said all that because he had bad experiences with black people in the past (Im only half black).
My friends still hang out with this guy who is super racist, and have all sorts of fun with him, regardless of what he said to me, or the fact that he is racist. None of my friends understand how hurtful his words were because they are all white anyway.
Am I wrong for being upset that my friends are friends with this person? I feel like they are disloyal, and that they care more about him because they have known him longer. How can I really be friends with my best friend if he is best friends with that guy? I cant stand it.
