My mother

I’m sure both my parents, now long deceased,would be saying the exact same things.
I grew up hearing just about every racial and nationality slur, especially from my father.

I think - I hope - over time, these ugly attitudes will fade away.

An aside, I had an aunt whose son and his wife (my cousins) adopted a girl who was white like her, and she still never considered that girl “real” family. It’s heartbreaking.
