Im not saying I agree with this statement but two people can be best friends even if one has some sort of subconscious or conscious racial ideas they are dealing with.
Is that scenario messed up? Totally. But it’s not disqualifying. People have all kinds of thoughts- sometimes they probably have thoughts about their best friends that aren’t great.
If someone decides someone else is their best friend, than they are their best friend. It’s as simple as that.

You can consider someone a best friend if you haven’t seen or spoken to them in years, even if you’ve made new friends who you spend lots of time with.
I see a lot of people projecting their idea of a “best friend” onto storm. You’re not her.

Storm deserves a better friend than Jean.
Storm can do without the drama of Jean's life (and deaths), that's for sure. Oh, I'm in a love triangle! Oh, an ex-villain is dating my ex-boyfriend! Oh, I'm dead, again! Oh, blah-blah Phoenix-drama! Oh, I have yet another child from an alternate mutant dystopian future hanging around and have NO idea how to deal with all these grown ups thinking that I'm their mommy (and resenting me for not feeling particularly maternal to them)!
Whatever Jean. Take a valium. Your life is whack.
Some people are forgetting that the story is about turning Jean into Dark Phoenix. Not into Mary Poppins.
So yes, Jean has some evil roots inside her, she's not all perfect. But she's trying to give the best she can. She's trying to be the best version of her. Part of her story was to redeem horrible things Dark Phoenix and the black Queen did. And Storm is mature enough to understand, forgive, and not throw away all their relationships for that.
Did it ever show Jean apologise to Storm for her racial abuse? Honestly, the friendship should have died after this. Good thing Storm is the bigger woman.
Of course in that case, Storm is the bigger woman. She's not immature, and she won't hold a grudge against a woman she loves like a sister.
Forgiving, redeeming, are parts of great characters evolution.
The scan you posted demonstrated nothing than your personal opinion...
Ignoring all the Jean-bashing derailment, I think some people's arguments are based on the false premise that best friends are perfect and never do things to intentionally or unintentionally hurt each other. Ororo has made it clear time and again Jean is her best friend. It doesn't matter if Jean has hurt her in some way, or she's spent more time with some of the other female X-Men, or she's been more intimate with others. Ororo feels that Jean is her best friend. That's really all there is to it.
I'm pretty sure everyone here had already read Dark Phoenix saga ages ago. And no one thought Jean was racist until Leah Williams said/implied that on twitter. Why are y'all suddenly acting like you never knew about that scene before? It's literally so dumb.
