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 my Grandfather but...
In around 2004-5, while in a "barfly" phase of the "student/barfly" flipflop I lived during my 20s, I struck up a conversation with a middle-aged black plasterer.
He was of the opinion that the then-recent influx of Poles were "coming over here when they had no right to do so, were stealing our jobs, stealing our women and should all be sent back where they came from".
He probably has grandkids by now, or something.

He wasn't objecting to immigration
he was objecting to Poles.
In fairness to him, he did preface his rant with "I know I shouldn't say this kind of thing, but..."

Right. I'm still not sure what his being black has to do with the anecdote.

It was
a black guy saying the kind of thing about poles that white people used to say about black people.
I'm not sure if it's genuine irony or if i'm pulling an alanis

Actually, I think you'll find it's post-Campbellian parabolic metathesis.
