has made it obvious to me that she is predjudice. She even told me that if i had mixed children, she wouldnt love them. Question is: should i deal with someone who obviously has a large amount of hate stored away for a certain group of people on this earth? Isnt this clearly hate, or should i just overlook her comments and keep the friendship..Wouldnt love my kids though?

I am in a mixed marriage of 5 strong years and a beautiful child who is 3. I think mixed children grow into the most beautiful people too. At any rate me personally, I would have immediately, and am hoping you did too, talk to her and thoroughly discuss this topic with her to find out where she got this viewpoint from. I am not sure it would be easy to remain friends though if she would not love my kid...that is heartless and despicable because it is the worst way to discount a human being just because of their race or religious beliefs. I mean, would she shun your child or just barely be nice to your child if you had a baby with a person of another race?

She has a right to her opinions. Also, there is nothing wrong with having friends with different opinions. All that aside, saying she would not love my biracial children, for me would draw the line. I would not care to remain friends with this person. I
I would ween myself away from her. If she ever ask what is wrong, you can let her know that your ideals are too far apart and conflict. Or you could just straight out and tell her straight up. I would do it as gently as possible and without malice.

Well do you plan to go out of your way to have mixed race children just to put her to the test? Or did the subject come up because you are in an interracial relationship right now?
I am not sure if that matters anyway, because your friend obviously revealed a side of herself that you never knew about.
Now knowing that you will have to redefine your friendship with her according to your convictions. Are you so committed to your beliefs that she needs to be out of your life altogether, or is she now going to be put into a role where she is still around but with much less relevance to your life?
I wouldn't overlook her comments myself. If one of my friends demonstrated a sign of prejudice in front of me, I would let them know that it wasn't OK with me, & that they should rethink their viewpoint if they want me around.
