Confused

I'm afraid that my little sister will end up being a racist or something. I know that everyone has said some rascist things in their lifetime, and it can't be avoided but in my sister's case she might end up being like a huge racist.

My parents are immigrants, and have gone through a lot of discrimination even I go through a lot too, and my parents have always told me that because I am African people will resort to thinking that I am lazy so I have to work hard to prove that stereotype wrong.  They also tell me to be proud of my culture and everything, which I am, but then also get angry when I try to have a balance with western culture too and get angry when I act too "African".

They make me so confused, but since I'm a older than my little sister I have formed the opinion that everyone is equal, but my little sister goes along with what my parents tell her. So if they told her to hate on every white person, she would.

My parents do usually badmouth other races , but it's mainly because all of the things that they have been through, but I'm afraid my little sister will end up being like them. I grew up in America and I'm used to seeing all kinds of people from different nationalities, and I try to keep an open mind and learn new things about others. I also travel around the world a lot, and enjoy learning about different cultures so I like to think that I'm not completely ignorant about the world unlike some people.

I know my parents make fun of other races, and also my little sister will join them and make fun of them. I know that my parents don't believe that Africans are superior to other races but whenever they do talk about other races it doesn't seem like they believe everyone is equal.

So what should I do?
