People Share The Worst Things Their Family Members Have Said During A Holiday Meal

Family holiday meals are famous for controversial conversations, occasionally leading to some pretty heated arguments.

Sometimes, though, a statement is so bad that it's just met by shocked, uncomfortable silence until someone awkwardly changes the subject.


What follows here are more of the latter.

*Content Warning: Blatant racism, homophobia, and general cringe after the break*

Reddit user u/criostoirsullivan asked:

"What crazy-*ss thing did your racist uncle just say at Thanksgiving dinner?"

Grandpa

Giphy

My grandpa said he has no idea why anyone would drink Modelo cause you have no idea what those Mexicans are putting in it.

-Lamesauce59

There was wide spread panic a few decades ago about Corona being made from or infused with piss from the Mexican brewery workers. Corona was rapidly becoming the #1 best selling imported beer in America and its competitors started making up the peepee rumors to slow it down.

The lie was surprisingly wide spread and less surprisingly, unquestionably believed by American consumers and did significantly impact coronas sales.

Grandma

My grandma said "they call it black Friday because you're poor after it"

-LintyTheLard

My wife's uncle said, "I can't believe we can still call it Black Friday. I figured someone would have taken offence to that by now and raised a stink about it."

N-word

Giphy

"turn off that n-word music!"

There was a long pause while all the family awkwardly took in his racism, the only response was one cousin noting, "... But it's Kid Rock..."

-Sufficient_Cat

The real problem here is someone is playing f*cking Kid Rock

Thanksgiving 

A few Thanksgivings ago Grandma was really upset because of gay marriage. And I quote, "Now they will be allowed to breed."

Just let that sink in my friends.

-rakshala

That kid in third grade was right, babies do come out of the butt!

-banannixx

Minnesota

Wow, what a perfect thread. My uncle went off today.

He's very conspiracy theory heavy, and this time apparently the "sand-*******" are going to start coming from over the hills and he will be ready to shoot. When I asked where they were going to be coming from he instantly responded with a dead-serious "Minnesota"

-RitsuFromDC-

Minnesotan here, can confirm that this is definitely the truth

-Sub3arthling

Wouldn't that make them middle western terrorists?

-spacemanspiff30

Suck d* ck

Giphy

My uncle asked me (21M) if I "liked to suck d*ck" because I got my ears pierced.

-TheJBerry

Neighborhood

"How safe is your neighborhood?" "I'm not sure." "Have you met your neighbors? Are they white?"

-Hlodvogovich

Had a neighbor move in next to me. Fortunately. she is long gone now. But within the first few sentences of just meeting her, she asked me if I could point out where "the blacks live."

Um, we have a pretty mixed area here. Everybody is everywhere. And right at that moment, I could honestly not differentiate one house from another. They kinda look the same, it's not like they have a plaque to identify which houses have "the blacks."

-TigLyon

Porn

My grandma said to my cousin and her girlfriend "you know, that's my son's favorite type of porn."

-Bantam123456

I reread this multiple time and kept finding so many things wrong there...

-SwiftCEO

Turkey

Giphy

My cousin said that the dark meat on the turkey is only worth 3/5ths of the white meat.

-nazrak

Most of the racists in my family would not have been educated enough to get this joke.

-Darth_Corleone

Muslim

(Aunt) There is now a muslim woman in a head scarf sitting near at work and she feels all tense and anxious now cause "who knows whats going in her head?"

-samtizhopablya

...like the hijab covers up the telepathy port or something?

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Lindsay Lohan Is Now Sporting A New Accent—And Fans Aren't Sure What To Make Of It

In a twist freakier than a sequel to Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan has debuted yet another new accent—this time at the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards in Doha, Qatar.

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.
