I got a head start today. My dad saw an interracial couple on TV and called it "ridiculous" and I nearly screamed. I am not ready for this.

My grandpa curses every time a black nfl player does a stuoid dance in the end zone.

It doesn't really bother me though

Nah.

We're there to spend time together, eat, and crack dark humor jokes. We all have a great sense of humor and therefore fun to be around.

Why do you think it bothers him? Is he racist? Why wouldn't racism bother you? *comes to your Thanksgiving and shouts at you for being racist*

It depends, if they're old and elderly, nah I just let them be. But if they're young and should know better, yeah I would call them out.

However, I just avoid my family altogether for the holidays, but it has nothing to do with racism or political standings.

I've done that my whole life. My family has no filters when getting together. Mostly though it's just my other grandma that's racist.

My family is pretty much all liberal, so no racists. I have some step cousins who were all about trump 2 years ago but were much quieter about him last year because his tax thing negatively impacted them. They realized they had been shortsighted in supporting him, and they only supported him because two of them are military and were worried that military budget cuts from hillary would be bad for them.

Educating racists is good. Why not teach them why they are wrong and how they can improve?

yes. but not by yelling at them and screaming and fighting them, is my point. teach them calmly how they are mistaken, but don't punch them. that will just make them more hateful

I'm not sure the Thanksgiving table is the optimal environment for that.
