[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not looks, but weight and race. In any story she tells about interacting with people at a store or a Dr office, she makes a point to mention if the person in her story is Black or Asian. I have pointed out a million times that the race of the post office worker helping her has nothing to do with her story - but she Will. Not. Stop. I often worry that my kids will pick up on it and think it is ok to describe people like that when it adds no context or information to the anecdote. My mom is not even implying some racist stereotype about the person’s speech or behavior - it matters to her story as much as the person’s shirt color. [/quote] My MIL does this. She is actually quite racist but believes herself to be very progressive and liberal. It's like pointing out all her interactions with Black people somehow gives her points for tolerance.[/quote]
