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.

Why shouldn't a black briton object to immigration?

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.

He only said he was black... didn't say he was british....

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.
