[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]John is racist, but wants non-white kids not legally or biologically related to call him Grandpa?

Interesting.

Maybe you misjudged him?[/quote]

OP here.  No, when you say stuff like "n-word," "porch monkey," and other various slurs for racial/ethnic minorities, you're not being misjudged.[/quote]

Then why does he want your non-white kids to call him Grandpa? Seems like he'd want to minimize any social connection to them.

OP here.  I have no idea why. Like I said earlier, he's been through a lot in the past year- came close to dying and had a liver transplant, as well as lost one of his sons to an overdose. Maybe he's changing his tune?  Or, like the PP said, maybe he sees us as an exception to his issues.  They have a Latino neighbor and have been to one of their parties and like the people, yet they say offensive things about Latinos too, so...?[/quote]

Right using the logic of PP, as long as you have "one black friend" you can say anything you want and it's not racist.  Ummm, no.  You can still not spew racist words and then claim you aren't racist bc you happen to like someone of a different race.  If you are using the n-word you have a serious problem understanding race relations, no matter what color your grandchildren are.[/quote]
