Edit : What's up with the polls lately? Option 3 and 4 are both : i don't know
Especially old ladies . Iv'e been wondering this for a while . Usually people talk about racism in a negative light ( obviously ). But when it comes to old people, especially old ladies , it's kind of okay . Like people saying: " my grandmother don't like black people , but it's okay , she's from another age " and things like that . While it's true that you can't teach an old dog new tricks , it's it okay to just leave that be because it's how they were brought up?
This isn't limited to racism either , homophobia and sexism are also included . Many ( not all )people from the older generations have pretty narrow minded views when it comes to these things . And yet no one really cares because they are old and it probably would required to much effort and change very little .
Now this doesn't apply to anyone in "power" such as politicians and employers andwhatnot , just regular old people . It's as if they get a free pass because they are old and never get called out on being racist/sexist/homophobic .
So what do you guys think . It's it okay to pardon racism from old people?
