South Africa. Go figure.
So the former Mrs. Outofnowhere is a white Afrikaans South African, and about 7 years ago whilst we were courting I moved to her town. One day her Grandparents were arriving home after a remarkably long road trip which they had attempted to do on a single tank of petrol. Their budget-friendly plan failed about an hour away from home, so we had to head out there and get them some fuel. When we got them to the house of my former in-laws Opa went down the road to the petrol station. Petrol stations in South Africa are manned by pump attendants, most of whom are black. He came back chuckling to himself and, using his best English told me "I took the car there and the chap asked me what I needed, and I said to the coon 'have I got a surprise for you!' and I told him the car was completely empty."

Being young and relatively new to the country I had no idea how to respond to this. It doesn't get more casual than that. Nor does it get more old-fashioned. My own Grandfather explained his liver spots by saying black people touched him and it rubbed off. My mother was livid with him for this and rightly so. Racist old bastard.

Turns out, white South Africans don't much enjoy Lethal Weapon 2.
