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

Alf Garnet - spot on
This QOTW is certainly edgy, but that is what you expect of B3TA. You also expect that there is a certain level of irony and self awareness of the people who post on here, enough that it does not go over the edge.
You could laugh at Alf in one of two ways, either as a naive co-conspirator or with an awareness of human frailty. Grandparents are often quite transparent in their views, which makes them an ideal source of humour.
So read the quotes as ironic and learn of a few more people to ignore.

B3TA - courageous QOTW, well done, but not to many more like these please.

Speaking as one with a low tolerance of Hilarious Ironic Internet Racism, there is very little genuine prickery going on.
It certainly there, but it's mostly 'look at my daft old nan'.

I've even had a genuine tale to post this week too.
