This is a question Racist grandparents

It Came From Planet Aylia says: "My husband's mad Auntie Joan accused the man seven doors down of stealing her milk as he was the first black neighbour she had. She doesn't even get her milk delivered." Tell us about casual racism from oldies.

Thanks to Brayn Dedd who suggested this too

Take my Mother-in-Law
Got told this last night by the wife.

When her Mother's neighbours sold their house to an Asian family, she put her house up for sale. The reasoning being that "it was only a matter of time before the whole street would be full of them"

She lives in Italy now.

Poor Italy.

had a similar experience with some retired neighbours once
we'd just moved in and met them. went for a cup of tea, admired the daily mail on the coffee table & the crocheted wall hangings of their own garden

me: "so have you lived round here a long time?"
neighbour: "all my life. though it's getting a bit colourful round here. all these immigrants. we're thinking of moving to france"

i didn't point out that (i) they'd be immigrants too then and (ii) france is hardly some kind of pure-bred european theme park free from all teh darkies

I find it hilarious that the first thought of most of this type of racist is emigration
sorry, did I say "hilarious"?

I meant "sickeningly hypocritical".

She'd fit right in in Italy.
I lived there for about three years, and though Italians on the whole are lovely people, my God are they racist. I lived with some lads from the North who thought it was the height of humour to piss in the milk of their Sicilian flatmate (ie also Italian) and his nickname was 'the African'. They were nice as pie to his face though. Unbelievable.

It's OK.
The Italians will surrender to her views then take up her fight with her.
