*hugs* I know what you mean icky... I was dating a guy who was adopted from South Korea for a while and my parents always would say these awful things about asians, behind his back. I told my parents that it wasn't acceptable and they shouldn't even be thinking that way. They were like well we just won't say those things infront of you, that wasn't my point!!! Anyhow I think it might be the time they grew up in.
