"Conversation I had with my Father..."

Bit of back-story: we've had the house next to us empty for some time, and various people have been to look, including a middle-aged lesbian couple (not that there's anything wrong with that). But yesterday some people came to view it, and my Dad was livid, for they were...BLACK!!!1174

Him: "You'll probably be worried to hear that some black ones had a look in next door yesterday."
Me: "'Black' whats?" (already knowing where this is heading...)
Him: "Two black people"
Me: "You mean two people?"
Him: "Well you may not realise this but they have a penchant for staying up all night, being loud and playing loud music all day and night"
Me: "So you'll be voting for the BNP in the next election then?"
Him: "I don't even know what you're talking about"
Me: "British National Party"
Him: "Don't talk down to me"

That's more or less word-for-word what he said, only I was probably more macho than the scene suggests. I scuttled off to the study shortly after.

I'm quite shocked actually, at how blatant he was with it. I've seen him make "Ook ook ook" sounds when we've driven past a black person before, but I thought that was his attempt at being funny, not trying to drill massive racism into me.

*spews coffee*

BLACK PEOPLE? What is this world coming to? What, they think they can just live ANYWHERE now?

What do you expect? The last generation in families never did grasp this multi raced thing in one country. Mind you, it does depend on the location.

Heh.

Essex...

I'm going to walk over to my neighbor's house today and ask if he's a closeted black person. He appears to have peachy skin from a distance, but you just never know! He's always being really loud, obnoxious, and playing music at ear-piercing decibels.

Hrm.

He might find he was adopted, and it was pink paint all along!

ROFL

Heh, you live with your parents.

One of my grans is unreal.
I actually cringe... trying to hide behind my chocolate snowball knowing that I can't really attack her.

" I was sitting next to a Pakki on the bus... smelled of course... Nooooo idea what was in his bag... "

" What do you think was in it? "

" Dodgy stuff, y'know "

" Maybe he was going to the gym "

" Yeah, exactly "

To this day I try to figure what she thought I said when I said 'gym'.

Ah, bless her old racist ways.

Is that supposed to be some sort of insult?
