    I was in with my granny in hospital and a foreign doctor came in to do the rounds and she told him straight out i have health insurance i wont be having a silly n****r doctor :o i didn't know where to look or what to say.

    I just told one of the lads and he had a similar story with his Gran dad and other stories.

    Did the doc handle it well? They tend to be used to this sort of stuff.

    Reminds me of being with my granny on a bus in London and there was a particularly pungent black fella sitting across from us. She wondered aloud was it the fact that it was dirt under their skin that made the blacks both black and smelly....

    RIP ya mad eejit

    I work in a tailors. I have an old woman customer who consistently refers to any dark brown trousers as nígger brown".
    I don't think they really mean it.

    Edit: Silly swear filter.

    Your granny like the other ancient racists are dying out so those doc's won't have to put up with it for too long. :eek:

    Sad (not because of the racist tendancies) but, true.

    That was legitimate colour back in the day, there was a type of shoe polish actually called that my dad told me once.

    It's funny though, the older generation in ireland(and a great deal of the younger too) are pretty much inheritently racist in this country. My cousin was recently around with her boyfriend who is black. My mum keeps saying things like, "Oh well isn't he awful black!", in the past shes come out with the old "They're awful cute when they're babies". She doesnt realise this constitutes a form of racism too, its pretty harmless though.

    True, and this is the type of 'racism' that I see the most, which is technically racism but really it's more of a blunt curiosity

    Ah there's no real harm meant by them, it's just ignorance but I don't think it's out of badness.

    Still is, Chinese furniture occassionally slips past the PC border police labelled that. There was a news story a year or two ago...
    When the new chocolate-coloured sofa set was delivered to her Brampton home, Doris Moore was stunned to see packing labels describing the shade as "******-brown."

    She and husband Douglas purchased a sofa, loveseat and chair in dark brown leather last week from Vanaik Furniture and Mattress store on Dundas St. E.

    Moore, 30, who describes herself as an African-American born and raised in New York, said it was her 7-year-old daughter who pointed out the label just after delivery men from the Mississauga furniture store left.

    "She's very curious and she started reading the labels," Moore explained. "She said, `Mommy, what is nig ... ger brown?' I went over and just couldn't believe my eyes."

    Was at a swimming pool with my youngest son a few years ago..He was aged 4 at the time. There was a huge black guy in the pool and my son who was standing beside him tapped him on his arm. He then asked the man if he was made of chocolate!!!:eek:

    I nearly fell on the floor with shock and the black man was really not impressed. I scooped up my young lad and got outta the pool as fast as I could all the while trying not to let the black guy see me laughing......

    it was just so funny cos my son asked it so earnestly and innocently:)

    There's a color called Niger brown...might be the source of the confusion.

    Yeah there's no malice in it at all. Sure a black person was something you'd never see in the west before the late 90s,not around where i live anyway.

    That is funny. Kids say the craziest things; people need to have a sense of humor.
