[quote=Anonymous]My FIL is like this. He asks people where they are from in a friendly sort of way, not pushy or aggressive, but definitely cringy. And he always brings up ethnicity in stories where it has no bearing. “My old boss, she was a black lady, used to always eat the same salad every day for lunch!” “I met the nicest lady on my walk today, she was Asian, she forgot her umbrella and got soaked in the rain.” He also does the same thing if someone is gay, and comments on if they are overweight or skinny. It’s hard to explain because he isn’t bashing someone for being fat or gay or whatever ethnicity, he just randomly points it out even when it’s totally unrelated to whatever anecdote he is relating.
