That is a good question, but given that she is terminal, I would give certain license to people that I would normally not give. I view racism as a mental disorder, and it is a disorder that has been considered entry for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel, a book often used to give and define disorder. Now to move back from my digression, she may never get over her racist view, but if you wish to take a few stabs at it, you might seek to view it as a phobia, as it is, and seek what it may take to reduce here fears.

Another thing to consider is find if it is affecting the way the people taking care of her, such as a non-white nurse or other caretaker.

I personally would consider what it would take to influence freinds and coworkers. I would have a harder time deciding on a dying patient and accept that there may never be enough time to have much effect on her view.

By the way, I myself wonder if anybody agrees with me on this one, especially from non-whites.
