My grandparents were somewhat racist...like they had black friends - but if any of us dated a black person - oh. my. God. All hell broke loose- though they also didn't much like us dating white people either
One of my cousins got knocked up a few years ago by her boyfriend (black). and my grandma called my mom all panicked...my mom couldn't figure out why she was in such a panic until finally my grandma said about my cousin's boyfriend, "he's a negrito!" My mom said, "well in this day and age be thankful she's having a baby with a man and not a woman..." My grandma hung up on her
They've let up in the last few years- but for older generations I guess it's hard to let go of the old notions....thankfully they did NOT pass down any racial prejudices to their kids - and therefore me and my cousins didn't get any passed down to us
