Racist grandparentsIt 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

Grandma.I've mentioned her before quite a few times in here. She was quite a strong character- got her MD in 1925, worked for Eleanor Roosevelt, did medical research in Africa and all that. And she never shied away from expressing her opinions. If she didn't like you, you knew it. I heard her mutter a hatred of "darkies" a few times.
Apparently she drove a red Aston convertible and was very fond of putting it through its paces. She would find herself sitting at a light next to some macho type in his big sedan with a huge engine who would sneer at her in her little car as he gunned the engine. They would always end up gaping and coughing in the wake of her dust.
She loved her red car, and really hated the guys in the black sedans.
And that was my race-ish Grandma.
(Yeah, I got nothin' this week. Sorry.)
