It's unfortunately the mindset of a good portion of that generation. My grandpa told me when I was thirteen to be careful of [black men] because it's a [we all know what I'm censoring here]'s greatest desire to touch a white woman. He didn't see anything wrong with what he had said, and after that I avoided as much contact as I could until he died.
It's not really racist to not like the fact blacks and whites get married or lay with each other. That's what's wrong with many people today they're so quick to play the race card when it's what so.eone believes. You believe they should I believe they shouldn't. If it's truly a free country accept what everyone thinks. Whether it's right or wrong. Although I believe they shouldn't I have tons of black friends that do and I just don't care. I'd still take a bullet for them the same as I would my white friends.

Believe it or not but there are entire towns in Texas that are still racist. Pardon the language but this is a history lesson I was in a town a few years ago that had a huge billboard that said "Nigger don't let the sun set on your black ass here." Racism is very alive and just because of how long that billboard was up all it does is set younger generations up for failure.
By the articles that make it over the Atlantic, the whole state of Texas, plus several others; strangely mainly ones with a large proportion of their population that isn't "white". Having said that, half of my compatriots have just taken the racist choice in a referendum, mostly for racist reasons, so I'm not in much of a position to criticise.

Racist: "A person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races … " —Oxford Dictionaries Your definition comes after. The grandfather discriminates between people one should associate with based on race ergo he's racist. It's really telling that you couldn't even let your cherry-picked dictionary definition stand by itself to prove he's not racist. Instead, you try to justify it with temporal relativism. If you grew up thinking two plus two equals five, you'd still be wrong today. These social issues aren't even recent; my grandfather joined an integrated frat FIVE decades ago under the belief races are all equal. Everything else you said is still predicated on the idea that race somehow matters but that you're magically not racist for thinking so. Yes, this site is filled with a vary, VARY large number of ignorant people. That's why we downvote.
My grandma used to say similar things like that. The first time I was horrified that someone still thought like that and was stunned into silence. The second time I told her it's not okay to talk like that about people but she didn't understand. It's what they were brought up to believe and while that does not justify it, it's very difficult to let go of core beliefs that your parents drilled into you. People tend to choose ignorance over learning and adapting.

Why couldn't you politely tell him that you absolutely don't agree and in the future, you will be more comfortable if he keeps his racist thoughts to himself?
What a moron! Everybody knows the TRUE measure of racial tolerance is how many friends of other races you have.
