my rancher FiL who lived in southern Mississippi during segregation will occasionally say something mildly racist around my kids and that pisses me off, but it's usually just a generational racist quip, not "hateful" if that's possible.

My MIL hates it when I use racial slurs around my kids, but she's learned to bite her tongue.
