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.

We watched a programme, (or several, I should say), upon entering the police about race and diversity and it was said that was one of the most annoying things you could say to a black person, because most of them would say, "um, I am black..."

That is completely different and fair enough though.
What I was saying is that some people would say, "I've got this mate, dave, who's black...but I don't see him as black."

Excellent, I like it when I get the point completely and utterly wrong :)

Were you trying to re-itterate(sp?) my point?
To be honest I think you had a vaild one though. If I were to list my friends I would feel no need to point out the races of any of them.

We seem to have got confused here.
Racism. It's not all that good, yeah? - Point 1
Do we have a Point 2?

I had to tick my ethnicity today when I gave blood. Whiter than the driven snow, I put.
I didn't realise that your ethnicity contributed towards the makeup of your blood. I should really, seeing as I study Biology. Interesting fact, though.
Do you reckon a racist would refuse to take blood from a different race if they could have the option of knowing?
Don't really know where I'm going with this. There'll be racists out there who have had their lives saved by a donation from the ones they hate.

Jehovas Witnesses wont take other people's blood.

Isn't he in his twenties?
If he is it's a bit lame. If not, sorry.

Your dad doesn't work for Harlow Council does he?
I went looking for Lou, the postman nearest my walk to see if he'd take my card back to save me a trip. I arrive at Bishopsfield and walk about a bit. Cue a couple of council workers standing around.
"Excuse me mate" says I, "You haven't seen a postie around here have you?"
"What, a darkie" says bloke
"...sorry?"
"A darkie? Yeah, over there about 10 mins ago"
"A darkie?"
"Yeah, he's over there"
Cue Lou coming round the corner. I go to him and ask him to take my card and say "Apparently you're a Darkie, Lou"
"Yeah I've heard that a couple of times before, I was shocked"
Jesus christ, in 2005 some moron council worker calling somebody a "darkie", I thought that was just slang used to annoy Mail readers. Didn't realise people actually spoke like that.
And your dad sounds like a halfwit monkey_man, sorry but he's a fool with those attitudes
