Hi, I'm denaya. And I have an issue; you see, I have a friend. She's white, and she lives in a nice neighborhood, and she has a Tesla. She's 16, and she's a Christian. My issue is we'll be on the phone just talking, and she'll randomly bring up how "White people face racism," which isn't the whole issue; she went as far as to say it was the same racism that black people face. Her dad is a Trumpie, and she's subtle about it, but I think she is too. I brought up what ICE did in Chicago, and she said that "they should just get a green card". I pointed out how she has white privilege, and she said I was entitled and privileged (mind you, I'm black in a mostly broke/poor neighborhood, and I'm a closeted bisexual). She also makes racist jokes about indian people, and I keep trying to correct her. It hurts because I don't tolerate ignorance like that, and I don't know what to do. We've been friends for 10 years and some change, and she didn't act like this until this February. Her dad recently bought a trump poster, and she told him to hang it on their house to "ward off the illegals". I love her like a sister, but I truly don't like this new behaviour. I can't keep doing this with her. I don't know anymore. I'm currently leaning left with the whole trump thing, but I'm not a democrat or a republican, and it feels like she's trying to push me to be the whole MAGA, Christian, Republican, and I don't want that whatsoever. And she's a prolifer, and it hurts to see her be so ignorant. I should cut her off, but if anyone has any solutions, please spill them. Also, I've started to look into different alt styles, and I showed her gothic makeup and a scene core outfit from Pinterest, and she laughed and made fun of them for being emo with "bad style" when she wears Birkinstocks with Nike socks and black leggings with a New York pullover. Like bruh. I just can't anymore. I'm strung for idea atp. PLS HELPPP!!!!!
HELPPP!! (warnings; political views, prolife, racism (i'm against all forms of racism)

You can try to talk to her about this from more emotional perpective, like explain why her behaviour hurts you and ask why she started acting that way but if she won't change you may consider cutting her off. I mean, would she stand up for you if she supports ideology that strips people like you from your rights? I don't know the whole story of your friendship and I'm just a stranger from the internet after all but it's a red flag that she seems not to care about this and also if I understood well she doesn't support you in your interests (alt fashion)...
