You really think everyone before 1960 was a terrible person? Do you or have you ever had grandparents? Have you ever heard of World War 2, where people actually had to fight real Nazis? Do you know when that happened? Do you know when slavery ended? Hint, it wasn't in your lifetime, and you weren't a part of ending it.
The sanctimonious garbage that gets spewed about older generations is beyond ridiculous.
I would also add that any types of isms and phobias aren't confined to one generation.
