So true about the generational thing. Even in Western Canada where you find some young people racist towards natives or anti-gay, they're fairly uncommon whereas with older folks you find that they are consistently like that. It's a matter of degree and it eventually influences politics. (Well one hopes anyway.)
It's so weird about the way they frame themselves as oppressed because they're no longer superior. Before they didn't have to even try, they were automatically in a better position. Also funny how the white suprematists consider gays to be non-white regardless of their race.
I also find it funny that one of the two far-right wing parties that Americans have to choose from is referred to as "the left". It's like referring to November as "summer" because it's less cold than January.
