How to address problematic behavior at family gatherings

Our family always spends Christmas together but this year my uncle's new girlfriend made some really inappropriate comments about politics and race, and my cousins and I have been texting about it but no one wants to be the one to bring it up to him because family gatherings are already complicated enough. We're all dreading the holidays now instead of looking forward to them, but we also don't want to blow up the whole family dynamic.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family is choosing collective comfort over collective values and discovering that avoiding conflict doesn't actually preserve harmony.
