Sounds like a family of AH's. You're not so different as you think.

I'm the first college grad in my extended family too. My Dad was 1 of 11 children. My maternal grandfather one of 12. I'm mostly white and can remember most of the racist comments I've heard from relatives ... among the uncles, aunts, great uncles, aunts, cousins, I can think of a grand total of 2 that were racist. I can remember the arguments my grandmother had with one of them. Did you choose your skin color?, she told him. She had spent her early childhood living in two black sections on the edge of little towns (n-you know what-towns as people used to call them). In her childhood, her family moved to a farm in a white county and thereafter that side of my family was from there on on a different track. She told me as a small child that there were good black people and bad black people and good white people and bad white people. And that's the way it is.
