That doesn’t change anything. And now we’re throwing in ageism into the mix? It’s funny how you boomers claim you do all the hard work meanwhile you assume the younger generations are too lazy to adapt and make changes ourselves.
Which is also ironic because it was mostly your generation that kept telling us (and millennials) that we should follow such standards. Now you’re assuming that there’s only one way to address bigotry and what we’re doing about it nowadays somehow makes you uncomfortable. I’m not against you for what you’ve done decades ago, you were brave for fighting for your rights. However your success doesn’t excuse your undermining of younger generations.
You’re assuming that just because you are old now you think you don’t need any youngsters lecturing you on anything. There’s the problem. You’re unwilling to listen to young people who are actually intelligent and experienced enough to know what’s going on in our society.
You may think what you’ve done has resolved the bigotry, but that’s only scratching the surface, and your attitude is one of the many things that are holding us back from achieving true democracy.
