I like it, though it feels a bit…heavy handed I guess? I’d also like the idea of the person actually being forced to become friends (or more) with people from those groups, too. That, or every time he says something like that, he becomes the “friend” he’s talking about.
I’ve been mauling an idea in my head. I’ve learned over the decades that those who say “I can’t be a (choose any one racist, homophobe, anti immigration) cause I have black friend, I work with a nice gay boy, my gardener is from Costa Rica those people are not those Mexicans. That they are proving who they are. Thought it be fun fit them to slowly wake up to his world, his buddies and family became his worse nightmare. He does have a lot of friend who are now what you fear the most. Thoughts.
