I'm back from an uneventful Thanksgiving weekend in Wichita.
Please post your relatives' borderline-to-blatantly racist Thanksgiving moments below.
I'll start:
(relative sees a lowered truck a few parking stalls down)
"I guess I should park up here a bit, away from those Mexicans."

While watching the "Diversity Day" Episode of The Office:
Actor 1: So, do you prefer a term besides "Mexican?" Because that has some... connotations...
Actor 2: Oh really, like what, Michael?
My Grandfather's Wife, shouting at the television screen: Like "illegal immigrants!"
from last year (Thanksgiving weekend, maybe?) while watching a Chiefs game:
Aunt: "you know, for a n_____, that Larry Johnson is pretty good-looking."
Grandpa: "get the hell out of my house!"
(laughter ensues; I bury my face in my hands)
So not really a blatant racial comment but...
(Background: Grandma is in the hospital):
Dad: "So this black gal took away Grandma's food. I just don't understand why she couldn't eat. But this black gal just took her tray away. And Grandma is so hungry..."

Upon hearing that I would be moving in with a man named Samir, my relatives began the "terroist" comments. I remarked that he worked at the U.N. and that should be a pretty good judge of character. My uncle then replied "he probably sweeps the floors."
