Dumping friends over politics or religion

Did these people tell you they entertain racist, homophobic, or otherwise bully ideas?

I'm trying to respond in a non sarcastic manner.

I can't.

Yes, Pool. These specific people told me straight out that they're racist homophobe bullies of people with cerebral palsy and so I broke up with them.

People don't need to say something like that. This is something that can be implied. Something that can be obvious after a deep conversation. This is something that can be visible in many ways. I'm not one to play with small talk, so if I had a conversation that lead me to take certain conclusions, it's damn well based on something. But say I had my doubts. All it takes is to ask them if they know that this man made fun of a dude with cerebral palsy. If they say yes and still think he's fit to be president, that's all I need to know. YES. It's that BIG of a deal to me. No. I'm not shy about saying it. So what now?

All I know is these "racism" and "homophobic" type of things are extremely subjective. I could text my friend "wassup ma nigga" and not be called a racist but if I say that to an sensitive person it'll hurt them and they'll call me a racist. Same with homophobia, misogyny, androgyny and every other buzz word on the book. So it seems to me that when you say you cut ties with someone because they're a racist, homophobic etc it just translates "I just don't like him". I mean I'm not asking you to explain your decision, you don't have to and besides you can't explain why you like hanging out with certain people anyway, you just have the same vibe, you mesh really well and soon enough you're kicking off
