It doesn't matter. Racist uncle is going to die early from a heart attack and those kids are going to be the people in charge when you're needing to be cared for- invest in them.

It matters to me and literally everyone else.

Racist uncle will live to his high 70's, early 80's on average. And you know what he does? He abuses those kids you're trying to radicalize.

And all those kids will do is grow up to resent your iniquities and cowardice for refusing to stand up to racist uncle, because they know you only address them because they are weaker than you and easier for you to influence. Because it's obvious to them you care more about using them as a political tool than about saving them from racist uncle, who molests them whenever he gets a chance. As in a lot. Their dads probably do, too, statistically.

But have fun defending racist uncle, cousin alt-righter. Don't tip your fedora too hard

They said racist uncle and you turned him into racist raping uncle. Those are different and would need different reactions.

You're so far off the mark there's nowhere for me to begin 🤦‍♀️ good luck with your family bud, sounds like you have a lot of work to do.
