Well, I mean nothing he said sounds like it was inherently racist, but it could be lost within the absence of tonality and his character in your post, which I'm willing to trust you on as you know him more than I do. But, from a surface value, it sounds like he's saying "Yeah my dad was brought up around black people", which wouldn't be surprising if he was from a poor upbringing as minorities, for many many self-perpetual and external reasons, are being segregated negatively through the lens of socio-economics in regards to ethnicity.

Yeah, I don't know, it just bugged me. It doesn't really sound all that bad when typing it out or whatever, but just the frequency in which he makes these kinds of comments and knowing his character, it comes off very terribly in real life.
