I just returned from visiting my MIL. My 100% Taiwanese MIL who has lived in this country since the mid 1960's and has a very, very good grasp on the English language.
She keeps saying "Oriental people *insert stereotype here.*"
:-| :-| :-|
Nothing we could say could convince her that what she was saying was inappropriate.

I'll add my own. Backstory, I did grow up in the midwest and fairly sheltered. But it wasn't until last year that I realized the name of the dinner my mom made (wetback dinner) was derogatory.

I'm just wondering WTf this dinner/ meal consists of ?
My grandma (an AA woman) also still says "colored", too.
