Racist, homophobic idiot!
In my DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) group today, I was horrified to discover that the only other weekly group member is both racist and a homophobe.
We were supposed to be having a discussion about "nonjudgmental stance," but this other group member (I'll call her "Idiot") started saying that she's "really good" at being nonjudgmental, because she has her own opinions, but she "doesn't force them on others." First of all, that's not even what "nonjudgmental stance" means in DBT, but that's beside the point of this blog.
The point of this blog is that Idiot went on to say that she's "not racist," but she is strongly opposed to interracial relationships. Oh, and she's "not racist," because she feels this way about all races, not just blacks and whites. She doesn't believe in "the mixing of cultures," and she thinks it is terrible when children are biracial.
She said her daughter is attracted to black men, so Idiot basically keeps telling her daughter to "think of the consequences;" that is to say, the horror of having a biracial child.
She also said that her son once dated an Asian girl, and he will "never make that mistake again," because the Asian girl's father judged him for being a "juggalo" (a fan of Insane Clown Posse, who dresses like the band). First of all, it's not just Asian people who are going to judge your son for being a juggalo; I'm not Asian, and I'm judging him right now myself, because Insane Clown Posse sucks ass. And, second of all, anyone who thinks it's badass to shower in Faygo soda is clearly not right in the head, and apparently, that's what juggalos do.
Then, Idiot said she's so upset, because her daughter is bisexual, even though "same-sex relationships are completely wrong."
Idiot also went on to say that it's so hard on her, because she can't talk about her beliefs in the general public, because people always tell her she's wrong. Yeah, there's a reason why people are telling you you're wrong, Idiot. The only reason I myself didn't speak up is because Idiot is constantly bragging about all the physical altercations she has at the courthouse and with Children's Services: Classy!
At any rate, I guess I'm pretty close to being Idiot's worst nightmare. I'm bisexual, and my girlfriend's son is biracial.
So, thank you, Iidiot, for offending me in almost every way possible today. Now, I don't even feel safe in DBT group, but I can't drop out, because the skills I'm learning (from the paperwork, not from the Idiot!) are really helpful.
