tbh i can't believe your parents went to see that - like how could they not see the blatantly clear parallels??! they blow my mind
my dad is actually marginally more chill than i thought he was a couple of years ago. i mean that’s not really saying a whole lot, but i was never particularly worried about how he would react to the show. mom though. mom is hot mess.
so the conversation started with my mom saying that she’d like to believe that something like that would never happen again and that stuff like the muslim registry wouldn’t happen and then i went off about how the only that’s not gonna happen is if we actively fight against and use our safer position as upper-middle class white women to help boost the conversation rather than ignore issues because they don’t affect us and things kind of went downhill from there. she mentioned how there are some crazy muslims that are bad and i said that there are way more christians that are scary bad than there are muslims and no tries to make every christian responsible for what one bad christian did and it just was a huge mess. but i might have addressed the “you only see things one way” claim better than i did previously so go me? i don’t know. i’m just so sick of the brick wall that is talking racism or sexism or islamophobia or what the fuck ever with my mom.
