But, I think people from older generations are having some serious issues adapting to the fact that you can't just mouth off online and expect everything to go hunky dory. (Current president excluded.) Racism has moved beyond the n-word and Sambo-style drawings. I think a lot of older individuals pretend not to see it, and think that it was once okay to joke about something that it's perfectly acceptable to still make that joke. It's troubling to see people past the age of 50, who have access to so much new and relevant information via the internet, choose to remain bigoted.
