Thanks for your reply! For full context, I am older too, that's why I asked.

Oh I grokked it ;) but I felt very it needed a very fine and hyper-specific point to it because I'm older too, I also happen to be a racial minority, and it's a frustrating and sore point of mine-the way these topics sometimes (though in my honest opinion: far too often) get blunted and watered down so that whomever can avoid the uncomfortable sensation of staring a reality they don't suffer from, but might (operative word: might) be an unwitting participant of in the maw.

Let it be said now that your eyes are on this line, dear readers: that's not me suggesting or intimating that the person I replied to above is doing this. They're not. But it is a trend that some would be more than happy to pretend doesn't exist because they haven't had a reason to tune their cognitive receivers into the broadcast frequency people like me are sensitive to and have been bombarded with for far longer, with far worse outcomes.

And I will speak out about it.

Every time.

Downvotes be damned.
