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

Neighbours, everybody need good neighbours
I grew up in a little cul-de-sac in a nice-ish area of Liverpool. There were only 12 houses in the close and it was quite a close little community. i.e. everyone knew everyone's business.

About 25 years ago, a black familly moved in two doors down from us. When this happened, our elderly neighbours said "we're going to have to move, we can't live next to a black familly, we have grandkids!" And, lo and behold, they sold the house a few months later.

Three or so years ago, a pakistani familly moved in opposite the black familly. The old black fella said to my dad "we're going to have to move, we can't live opposite pakis, we've got grandkids!"

Does that count as irony, then?

Black v brown racism is very real,
but this still sounds made up.

God's honest
Obvuiously, the wording wasn't the same, but the gist of the conversations was.
