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 dad (also a grandad) casually pointed out how the Eastern European guys at work would piss off the localsby working through their tea breaks as it was something they weren't used to having 'back home'.
I found that an incredibly stereotypical observation about the Eastern European work ethic and with more than a nod to the old stories about Stakhanovite factory workers, but he refused to apologise for his comment.
He was the MD and the local Midlandish workforce had been swinging the lead for so long they had all forgotten what hard work looked like.
