Ask Amy: Group chat leads to group dilemma

Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Your brothers might offer to finance this trip. If so, I hope you’ll go.

Dear Amy: I’m appalled by your response to “Stressed in the West,” asking about wedding invitations to her cousins who have expressed racist opinions and used racist slurs.

Racists are not “bozos.” They are hateful, ignorant and dangerous people.

The accommodating view you express contributes to the ongoing crisis in the U.S. Racism in all forms should not be tolerated.

Yes, the decision is for the couple to make, but the bride’s parents can make it very clear that they stand 100 percent behind their decision not to invite racists to their wedding.

– Liz

 

Dear Liz: My mistake. These cousins as described were not only “bozos.” There were racist bozos.
