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

So racism only exists in the minds of the elderly and is about to get wiped off the face of the earth as soon as they die?
I suppose everyone loves the 'towelheads' and is totally not fearful of the Chinese either?
As soon as granny carks it, I will never hear another bad word spoken about the French?
Has there been some worldwide declaration of peace and brotherly love that I missed out on?

You're twisting the argument
I'm not denying that racism exists, and I find it every bit as repugnant as you do.

But that is not the subject of this QOTW. As far as I can tell, the only objective this week is to get a cheap laugh out of outmoded opinions which I would prefer weren't shared.

As a complete aside, it's also interesting how few people seem to understand the difference between racism (forming a stereotypical view of a race or nationality and spreading it laterally), apartheid, and use of inflammatory language. The word 'nigger' on its own, whoever uses it, is not racism.
