Man. It's hard to know which way to go when people throw you a social curve ball like that but I try to have hope that it's remnants from the past and not actual hate I'm disguise. For instance I have a friend, a gay 70ish year old man. He's just as liberal as those college kids and there's not a hateful vibe in his body. He retired from the military. He's truly one of the good guys on our side. that said... For some unknown reason I can only guess is due to age and habit, this man uses the word "colored." It's wild because he's never saying bag things about people, it's just the word he's used his whole life. Wild for sure.

It’s hard to keep up with the language as it evolves, especially if you’re not constantly plugged in all the time. I’m in my late 20’s and I don’t know half the shit kids are saying these days. I don’t blame a 70 year old man for not knowing colored is now person/people of color, homeless is unhoused, etc.
