I think that there really is such a thing as too tolerant. Like tolerance is good to a certain extent but I do not think we should be excusing ignorant behaviors for the sake of respecting other people's opinions. And ik this might sound INSANE but I don't think it's ok to be friends with racist people just because YOU think they're a good friend and "they've never said or done stuff like that before." Yeah maybe they haven't in front of you. Anyways personally I think that if you're friends with someone like that and you KNOW that they're like that, you're just as guilty as they are. Excusing shit like that and not saying anything just because they're nice to you is not fucking ok and it makes you look gross. I don't think we should be tolerant of EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. I think that there need to be repercussion for ignorant behaviors and "bygones" should not just be bygones.
