Pushback

By Snurkles McGree - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - Canada

Today, my racist grandmother was complaining that the new nurse at her nursing home is a black woman. I casually asked, "Is she cute?" I'm now out of the will. FML

Shouldn't your grandma be living at the nursing home? Because then you could just have a look yourself when you go to visit.

I bet she is cute and grandma knows it, and it makes her angrier. Is there even anything in her will worth having?

Smart thing to ask if you know she's racist...

It was probably a slip of the tongue

What if she found out she was a racist after hearing her reply?

It's not like you have to accept that someone's a racist

22 - if she was complaining about the nurse being black, you can sort of assume she's racist I guess. 27 - of course you don't have to accept it, but that doesn't make OP's comment smart. It's like bringing a boyfriend (if you're a guy) to a homophobic friend's home. Acceptable? Sure. Smart? Probably not...

If you're gay, why would you have a homophobic friend? =)

You don't turn ****, you realize that you're homosexual.

You shouldn't stop being yourself just for the family fortune.

Well.. That's one way to get things going. I hate to say it, but you kinda deserve it because you knew she was like that. And when people get that old, there's no hope for change. But yet.. I hate racist people. So I have no idea how to rate this one.

I hit fyl, as sure he could have kept his mouth shut, but by commenting about it means he didn't go along with her racist point of view even passively. :) And at the same time, he also didn't start a colossus fight/argument over the issue. Well done OP. :)

See, this is the irony of FML. If you suggest that your comment will be thumbed down, everyone will attempt to rebel and thumb you up. So thumb me down! But since I suggested that saying 'thumb me down' will cause people to thumb me up, people will now actually thumb me down. The nuances of FML psychology.

Well shit. So do I thumb up or down? Why must you make things so difficult?

Or pretend to be a racist so she writes you back in. Then donate all the money she leaves you towards relief efforts in Haiti.

That nurse might just be the one to save her ass. Reminds me of that viral picture of black nurses operating on a KKK member. Just screams irony.
