Nah I definitely disagree with that statement. It is absolutely possible to maintain a healthy relationship with someone whose perspective on ethical issues differs to your own.
There aren’t many explicitly racist or anti-racist people in the world. I think that’s a pretty big misconception people have about racism; that it is predominately an individual quality as opposed to a much broader systemic problem. Even then, my personal experiences suggest these views do not have to define a relationship if you take the time to unpack and better understand them. Most racism we see in the world is generally not born out of evil or hatred but rather fear or ignorance, which are universally relatable human conditions.
Many political questions are reasonable to disagree on but many others are also ethical ones with gaps that cannot be bridged.

Someone racist and someone else antiracist?
