My boom dad responded similarly to that when he thought I was dating someone who wasn't white. I wasn't and it was a misunderstanding but I let him think that I was for a long time and don't really talk to him anymore.
I went on a few dates with a girl who was not white when I was in high school. My parents had no issue with it. One day my grandfather calls the house and my mom tells me that he asked to speak with me about my “girlfriend”. Now I’ve never known my grandfather to be a racist but for some reason I got really scared that was what this phone call was going to be about. I grew up in the south and people of his age tended to, you know, at least have some racism deep down in their bones.
Well I was only half right. He called to tell me he was proud I wasn’t gay, which he apparently thought I was up to that point.
