So your gran wasn't racist...
... though she thought it as shocking that there was a programme which featured only black people who she thought she'd call a derogatory name which was never meant as a term of endearment. My Granddad who fought in the war alongside people of different races wouldn't dream of calling someone a nigger. Admittedly he is not the kindest to ze Germans but it's more playful jibes and he gets on very well with my aunt and her family who stem from there.

allright, she wasn't being overtly racist. I should have said she wasn't bigoted.

And I bet your grandad did then - it was just the term used at the time. Guy Gibson had a black dog called Nigger, and it didn't mean he didn't like the dog.

Yes but...
...that was during the war and he died in '44.

I bet if he was still around in the 1980s and had to get a new dog, he would have called it something less offensive FOR THAT ERA.
