Sure, and if a young person does something nutty then I'd call them a nut. It's not hypocritical on my end to do this.

My other grandmother is the same age as my idiot grandmother, and yet she's managed to somehow not be really racist around my wife. I guess I don't know for sure what's in her brain, but at least outwardly I wouldn't classify her as a racist, so please don't misinterpret what I say: being old doesn't inherently make you a nut.

If a young person says something dumb or offense, it's perfectly fine in my mind to hold them to the same standard.
