My mother was ultra-conservative and bigoted to the point where she probably figured Hitler had a good idea. I myself am pretty liberal and try to be open minded about other cultures/ethnic groups. I tried to never ever discuss politics with her and if she did get going on one of her rants, I would leave the room if possible. It has been my experience that once people acquire certains ideas, it is extremely difficult to change their minds. You just have to accept that the person is what they is.
