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

Probably one of the more reasoned debates on here
Fence sitting personally, I don't think historically modern man has got on well with his other species, did we not wipe out the old Neanderthals? That was modern people working together to overcome a more powerful version of ourselves (if i remember right, they were a lot stronger but we were a lot smarter).

Still, even today, racism or not, people prefer the company of their own be it religious, social or ethnic and that goes for all parties.

Believing that you’re particular beliefs or practices are somehow representative of the average human, i.e. no one wants to believe they are a weirdo, is a common misconception. Nonces often think everyone is attracted to children, thieves think everybody is dishonest, and racists think racism is normal.

Oh, and know one knows what happened to the Neanderthals. Some think they were out-competed, some think absorbed by hybridisation, or were wiped out by environmental changes.
