And she didn't keep it to herself which is odd since she was married to and bore five children with a man who was often treated as black but was actually some kind of Jewish, she didn't like them either. Turns out, she did like us all that much either though the younger ones spent their entire adult lives living near her and maintaining relationships. She got worse in her 90s, no filters, and all her healthcare professionals were non-white and my siblings were always trying to get her stop being a jerk about it.

I hope you and your family are not too harmed by it. Just proves why the "can't pick your biological family" is such a thing.

Take care, welcome to DU.
