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

My somewhat deaf Grandma in her final years spent a lot of time in and out of hospital.
On her first admission for the condition which would ultimately finish her myself and my sister went to visit her.
After initial greetings and 'how are you today's conversation settled down until she gave a conspiratorial look round and said in a whisper(read: top of the voice for a normal person) 'THEY 'AVE BLACK DOCTORS TODAY YOU KNOW'.
We cast an embarrassed look around only to see a junior doctor of (I believe)Pakistani extraction speaking to a patient at the end of the bay. He appeared not to have noticed us.
Grandma continued 'ONLY THIS ONE WHAT SAW ME THIS MORNING' indicating said junior doctor 'HE WEREN'T SO MUCH BLACK AS MUCKY LOOKING'.
Again a glance round, this time to meet the eye of the doc.
'It's alright folks, I like the lively ones' he said.

The junior doc is now a senior registrar at the hospital I work at.
He doesn't remember the incident, but I still cringe with a bit of residual embarrassment if we have him come in to review anyone.
