DEAR AMY: I am 65 years old. Three years ago, I was fortunate to locate my birth family through a DNA search.
Also, my mother knows that my husband is Black. What do I say when “casual” racist comments are made?DEAR A: You have undertaken a momentous and laudable effort to find and visit your birth family. Unfortunately, you are allowing your mother to emotionally manipulate you. When “casual” racist comments are made, you should say, “Whoa. Stop. I can’t accept that.” Racist comments are a very good reason for you to rethink whether you want to extend yourself so generously.DEAR AMY: I am a 41-year-old man, who found a very caring woman online about three years ago. She has all the qualities that I have longed to find in a woman, and she likes me, too.
