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

Just south of the border
My great aunt, Irish born and bred, came from a little town just south of the border, where a non-white face was just about never seen in her 80+ years there. She didn't trust black people. But on her last trip to the UK, she saw a mixed race man.
"Oh, he's not as bad," she said.
I cringed once again.
