No, the idea that almost everyone born before 1980 was an evil bigot is stupid

Then it's a good thing no one said that.

You should probably take a break from the internet. There's enough things to get offended about. There's really no reason to start making up new ones.

If you extend your "calling a spade a spade" logic, it will to lead to some ridiculous premise like "everyone born before x year was an evil bigot" where x keeps marching forward year after year.

Where did OP call "everyone born before 1980 ... an evil bigot"? Where did OP single out FDR as a reactionary bigot? Yes, it was done under his watch, but there were, in point of fact, plenty of genuinely reactionary bigots who supported it at the time. You're lambasting OP for the words you've put into their mouth. Stop.

Not everyone. Just the guy who ordered Japanese Americans be sent to internment camps.
