Clem should have a conversation with his friend and kindly request that he stop tagging him in offensive posts and to delete any past posts that could potentially harm his job prospects. It is important for Clem to communicate his concerns and set boundaries in order to protect his reputation and future career opportunities. If his friend is understanding and respectful of Clem's request, then the friendship can continue. However, if the friend is not willing to change his behavior, Clem may need to consider distancing himself from the friendship in order to prioritize his professional image.
