UK racism
@tony @afewbugs age is no excuse for continuing to be racist...
I can sympathise with those who were racist in the past when that was the socially acceptable thing and have since moved with the times and are no longer racist in their present day actions.
But you can't use the excuse that something was socially acceptable 60 years ago to continue doing that same thing today if it no longer is.

@afewbugs @tony exactly.
I don't agree with so called "cancelling" of people for things they did in their past when that was the societal norm (especially if that person was progressive for their day even though problematic by modern standards) but at the same time we can't fail to call out things that are happening today that are no longer acceptable in modern times even if they were in the past
