  1. It doesn't mean "old people = bigoted", more so "old cultural norms = bigoted". Young people can be just as bigoted, as Quinn just gave an example in his post about the person he knew.

      1. @bowbow This is actually very possible. When you're really young it's easy to internalize bigotry from familial figures.

        1. @noelnarwhal Luckily for me, all of my bigoted family members aren't immediate!

          1. @bowbow My immediate family is okay for the most part. My mom has pretty accepting views and my brother's good for the most part but my dad has shown himself to be pretty expressly racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic before.

            1. @noelnarwhal all of the external dads I know are bigoted in some way no joke
