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

Not grandparents
At least, not my grandparents, but a couple who ran a B&B I stayed in somewhere near Slough.

They seemed very pleased when a nice, respectable, reasonably dressed, well spoken young chap turned up at the door, and we were chatting for a little while, passing the usual pleasantries whilst going through the usual formalities of keys, breakfast time and so forth.

The lady suddenly said to me, "Oh, it's so good that you came here rather than going to a bed and breakfast in Slough!", to which I chuckled slightly before she carried on, "You could have been eating curry for breakfast!"

I paused for just long enough to register my disgust at the casual racism and responded, "I quite like curry for breakfast sometimes.", probably (hopefully) dispelling all her first impressions of me. I'm sure she burned my toast the next morning on purpose.

Did you complain to her about the blackened toast?

Leftover curry from the night before
Is the breakfast of kings. I often order twice as much as I can eat in one sitting specifically for this purpose. I almost feel sorry for that woman, she really doesn't know what she's missing.
