Yeah, B3ta's sick jokes...
I won't be cured by the time this QOTW is closed but there's progress.
Thank-you to the people who had the patience to post practical advice. I know where my anger lies but I've let it spill over in the last few years.
I can see that my friend is extremely racist. We set off this morning and were waiting at a light. An Asian/Oriental woman was crossing the road under her umbrella. The sun was blistering in nearly 40C* heat. "That's smart. I should start carrying an umbrella on days like this" I said. My friend said, as we inched through the intersection, "Come on lil' Nipper. Just pretend there's landmines there." It made me feel sick and sad. She's going to notice soon that I'm not participating anymore and it's not a talk I'm looking forward to.
When watching the news or reading the papers, I may still *think* the 'n' and 'p' words about the hardcore criminals and it will still be wrong, I know.
