Christmas supper at Savia's aunt's house. Savia and her investment broker uncle are discussing the global economic situation.
Savia's uncle: Blah blah blah, economic crisis, blah blah blah, credit/debt/housing blah blah blah
Savia: Blah blah blah, some insightful question, blah blah blah, political corruption, blah blah blah
Savia's somewhat demented grandmother: I know! It's those Filipinos coming in and stealing all of our jobs!
Everyone at the table: Incredulous looks, laughter.
It just wouldn't be Christmas without some random racist comment (aimed at a group that isn't even visible in our community) from a crazy old person at the supper table.
I hope your holiday was just as interesting.

Ooh - my grandma has an irrational dislike of Filipinos, too! Merry Christmas!
That's too funny. I used to have a crabby old great-uncle who made inappropriate racist jokes all the time. How a Jew felt comfortable being racist about other groups is beyond me. Anyway, he's long gone now.
how do you tell a just turned twenty - really white boy that no matter how much bling he wears, nor how many words he and the rest of his also very pale friends turn into acronyms (meet you at the PL in the GC...) parking lot and glen cairn ... they are NOT gangtar anf they are NOT black, in a politically correct manner ?
