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

Not actually racist, really
After my grandad died, one of my uncles decided to get my nan a dog to keep her company. He got her a lovely, soft chocolate lab. Lovely dog, it was.

Just aabout the entire clan was round to play with this thing, when my uncle said "what you gonna call him?"
My nan said "Nigger"
The room went silent until someone said "erm... I'm not sure you can call him that, it's a bit racist"
"No, it's not" says my nan "that's what colour he is"

This arguement went back and forth for a few minutes until my nan shouted "right, I'll prove to you that that's the colour he is"

She dug out my garndad's paints (he was an absolutely fantastic painter) and produced a nearly-new tube of paint that was, in fact, called "Nigger Brown" and was the same colour as the dog. The was the early-90's and the paint was by one of the big manufacturers (Daler-Rowney, I think)

The dog got called "Jess" in the end.

I remember going to a fancy dress party as B.A. from the A-Team.
The face paint was called 'Nigger Brown' too. Even then it didn't sit quite right with me.

i bet you were in and out of the face-paint shop in no time at all

There was a woman a year or so ago who
complained to DFS, or some bastards, because the brown leather sofa she ordered had a label on it saying 'nigger brown'.
