My mum is racist as well but what makes it hilarious is that she is mostly racist against asian and is forever going on about pa*i this and pa*i that....conveniently forgetting that my dad is a pa*i, thus making me half...So she must hate me as well

I can remember going to the match many years ago, Liverpool were playimg Everton and the crowd started singing ....... I'd rather be a P*ki than a blue.

she went to Barbados on holiday and bought herself a gigalow.

Couldn't she have bought a taller one?

Gosh, Terrible, Sorry, Please forgive me, but the way you have explained it, made me laugh

Trouble is with these racists, they don't realise how stupid they are.

My dad has a very good friend from years back who is from Pakistan, which i pointed out, his answer was, no, that's different!

Why is it different dad? oh, sorry, forget i asked (walks away)

Lol it's alright, it is pretty funny. I don't even know if she means it because she was with my dad for 11 years and even turned her back to her family because of him, I think she is just bitter about a lot of things to be honest.

I don't think she means it against you, so your grandparents are like that too?

I didn't know any of mine so i have no idea, if they had the same views as my parents

I don't really remember my grandparents but from my mums account, her dad was racist and never approved of my dad and when she had my brother he referred to him as [Text removed by Forum Team] and then when he died at 6 months, her dad refused to go to his funeral and wouldnt let my grandmother go, which is why she stopped talking to her family, none of them stood up to her dad.

Oh my gosh, what a terrible situation, to put her though all that, just because of skin colour, disgusting!

I honestly think, if i had, had a child to a black or asian man, i can honestly say, i would of been disowned, no doubt about it.

They might have surprised you! I think the best way for someone to become more tolerant is to meet the people they judge.

Then I need to get my husband out & about a lot more.
Parents are difficult as you can't trade them in.
Spouses? As painful but the shortest cure is even more expensive than a funeral.

One of my pals comes out with all that racist p*sh when he,s drunk.argueing is futile so we just change the subject however one famous night he said he was leaving to get a "Chinese".
After being told "how the f£&K are you gonna get one of those after you,ve sent them back" ww3 erupted.lol

So to OP,just make sure they eat only 100% British meals. ��
