Good grief. You know this has had the opposite effect. I learned at a young age to view people based on who they are and not their race. I don’t need endless obnoxious lectures.
I will always hate how right my dad was, because it's funny how painfully right he was. In 2015, I was a Bernie voter who went with the flow. "You'll quickly realize they hate us" "You'll learn that you are expected to be a tax pump".
Your dad is a wise man.
He's very bitter when he talks about that stuff, and I'm scared to take on his bitterness as I age. But at the same time, he is very smart, he went through the same ride of being liberal to being conservative as I am. He's boomer conservative in some ways, pro Israel, pro military intervention in the middle east, a classic Bill O'Riley watcher, compared to my anti-military "Let them sort it out and if things end up bad we can go back". I still don't agree with him on everything, but I love him a lot and I let him know it when appropriate.
As long as you love your father you cannot go wrong.
