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

My Great UncleBoth my grandfathers died well before I was born, so I never knew them. My great uncle (husband to my mum's mum's sister) is the closest I've ever had to a grandfather.
He's 81 this year, but still more or less fit as a fiddle, and often drives the local "old ladies" (as he calls them) to the bingo.
One evening, he was trying to remember the name of a film star. The one who's been in films such as "Coming to America", "The Nutty Professor" and "Shrek". We're quite used to him, so noone batted an eyelid when he said "Oh, who's that loudmouthed darkie?"
(In case you hadn't guessed, he was thinking of Eddie Murphy)

But if he said "loud mouthed whitey" he would have been wrong.
and if he said
"loud-mouthed fellow of african-american descent' he would have sounded gay.
he should have said
"That black chap what got caught with that trannie hooker."
