Git into a huge fight with brother's date at a wedding and ruined dinner

[Anonymous]

You prioritize the bride and groom and do not argue at their wedding, especially to the point that guests are uncomfortable and leave early.

You know the wedding couple and surely can understand their happiness on this particular occasion is more important than arguing with a stranger you may never see again.

Good for you for having a backbone, and shame on posters piling on you. This entrenched willingness to turn a blind eye to racism is why racism/white supremacy continue apace in the US.

I’m with you OP.

The wedding guests and spouse aren’t which I think tells you something.

Don’t know who all these posters are who think you did something wrong because it wasn’t “polite.” You were 100% in the right, OP. Shutting down racism is correct at any time, no matter how uncomfortable the place may be. This blew up because she blew up— not your problem. Hopefully she won’t ever be brought around again.

Someone’s wedding is not the time or place. You people are out of your minds. And ridiculously rude, to boot. All OP had to say was “I disagree completely. Let’s change topics.” Done.

Nope nope nope. It is never appropriate to do this at a wedding. It’s a day to celebrate the bride and groom. You are rude and selfish if you think otherwise.

OP owes the bride and groom an apology

Oh no no no. There is never an appropriate time and place to be a racist twit, but a stranger's wedding where you are attending only as a +1 is a particularly poor choice.

"Maddisyn, this isn't an appropriate setting for spouting political opinions. Can you change the subject, or do you need the rest of us to take over the conversation?"

But “change the subject” doesn’t sound like what OP did? Sounds more like a full blown argument that made guests uncomfortable so they left the venue early

I can’t believe people aren’t mad at your brother for bringing a racist to the wedding — especially when it sounds like she was the one insisting on talking incendiary politics!
Team OP. Brother should be apologizing. Unless you know your family is all MAGA in which case it’s on you OP—if that’s the situation you decline the invite or go knowing you’re going to swallow sh-t all night.

All this focus on how “rude” OP was when brother’s gf was the rude (and inappropriate) one.

She was definitely in the wrong, but you shouldn't have started an argument.

The scripts here are so cringe. Especially ones that involve hurling an accusation and leaving.

So your brother is a racist too, then?
