Am I the only one who enjoys old people's polite hateless racism/homophobia?
It made me giggle when my incredibly lovely friendly 90yr old grandma tried Indian food and said how nice "their people" are, and has to whisper how the new neighbours are a gay couple, presumably in case God hears her.

I dated a black girl a few years ago, and she seemed really proud of me, as if it made me special.

It surprises me how an old woman can get away with saying
"working like niggers this morning"

I've also heard one referring to an Asian guy as a "chapati basher".

Oh my nan would never actually attack anyone
Instead she seems to want to defend them as if being another race/sexuality is a handicap. I have gay friends and she loves them, but has often wondered allowed how they ever plan on having children, or wondered if they like sport, and even gone as far as to ask what gay men, as a species, like to eat....I didn't say "cock".

My grandad
when Trevor Mcdonald came on the news always said "He speaks English ever so well"

Indeed - I'm not sure my 75yo dad yet understands how Sir Trev can be
involved with, lead alone the head of the Better English Campaign.

Which is pretty much what John McCain said about Obama too.

I had the misfortune of living in bed and breakfasts near Slough some years ago
whilst working for a well known and properly rubbish IT company just off the M4.

First night staying at a B&B in a picturesque village a good drive away from Slug, chatting to the nice old couple who's house it was about various things. They obviously took a shine to me, being a well spoken, polite lad, because the lady said, I guess out of genuine concern for my well being, "Well thank goodness you came here rather than finding a random B&B in Slough - you could have been eating curry for breakfast!".

I blinked twice at the casual racism and replied, "I quite like curry for breakfast". I think I dropped slightly in her rather snobbish estimation after that and her love of Slough was never mentioned again.
