[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't care what decade you grew up in. Its a choice to be ignorant.[/quote]

Cool. Let's cancel everyone. That will help society.

It's VERY difficult to see beyond your community's values, especially as a child. [/quote]

Yeah when did we start expecting children to make [b]the correct choices every time,[/b] without the guidance of adults?  That's unreasonable.

My parents weren't racist by any means, but present day racism was not something we talked about growing up, it was more in reference to the past.  Paraphrasing, but they acted as if the Civil Rights era had made everyone colorblind or something.  But I don't think that was uncommon for the time, and where we lived was not terribly diverse. I had a couple good friends in high school who were Asian but there were only a handful of AAs at our school.  I think it's more diverse now.

But I was absolutely ignorant Catholic who was homophobic in high school (early-mid 90s), and didn't really see the light on that until I went away to college.  Again, not something we ever talked about at home, and I plan to do better with my kids.[/quote]

The correct choices for the moment. POC was the correct phrase, now it’s BIPOC. It was American Indian, now Native American, now maybe it’s back to American Indian? It’s all fluid and the woke police will come for you too if you aren’t up to the minute with the latest “correct” and approved phrase (which will change again in a few months or years). Bill Clinton certainly can’t be judged by today’s standards. Neither can Joe Biden. [/quote]
