This mirrors my experience with the texting while driving problem: The debate started as angry complaints about how all the kids are texting while driving. Yet it’s a common problem for people of all ages. The worst offender I knew for years was in her 50s, but even she would get angry about the youths texting while driving.

Pretending it’s just the kids and young people doing the bad thing makes the outrage easier to sell to adults.

the US media has been doing this with Black people to great effect for hundreds of years. (the tacitly hateful) Democrats are as guilty of it as (the openly hateful) Republicans.
