[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No for 2 reaons. 1- My family doesn't have the luxury of excusing it because they are usually on the receiving end. 2- "Back then" is not excuse. People in their 60's now were teenager or twenties in the 1970's. Granted it was still no racial paradise then, but they are old enough to know better. It's a choice.[/quote] I’m white and agree with #2. If someone is much older— 80s or 90s— and mentally slowing down, I call it out in a way that might be most effective in changing behavior. It depends on the situation. Ignorance is different than hostility, and I don’t think shaming someone who is just ignorant is either kind or effective. Gentle education is better. [/quote]
