That is such a tricky spot to be in @bignosegirly0

It can be so tough when your views clash with your family's views. Especially around something as serious as racism and immigration. It sounds like you were really put on the spot during that road trip, caught between standing up for what’s right and trying to keep the peace.

I can really hear how guilty and ashamed you feel for recording in that moment, especially with how much racism and discrimination seem to be rising across the UK. But the fact that you do feel this way says a lot about your values. You clearly care deeply about inclusion and doing what’s right, even when it’s difficult.

You’re not alone in this struggle, and that moment doesn’t define you or your beliefs surrounding racism. The guilt you feel just shows how your believes did not align with your actions. It is a real sign of your commitment to fairness and justice.
