I’m an atheist Jew married to an atheist Muslim and my parents are Atheist Jew and Atheist Catholic and I got kicked out of Hebrew school at the age of 12 and missed out on all that sweet sweet Bar Mitzvah monies.
Won't someone please think of the Boomers?

do They say racist • about others to you, too, not knowing everything you just described? Because we’d love to have you in our club.

Dude...you couldn't at least hold out for the mitzvah cash? Miscalculation, sir.
We Gen Xers are rapidly becoming Boomer-aged. Boomers are living longer but will be dropping like flies in the next ten years. The Greatest Generation will be effectively gone this decade.

I used to just not say anything when I heard racist BS in the cockpit. After reading some posts here by members of certain demographics, I shall no longer do that. Sorry for having been part of the problem.

Like I said, it’s a state of being not an age. I call my wife a boomer when I have to show her how to use her phone and then close a million apps.
This is the opposite of my wife and me. I have this fancy giant iPhone (don't ask what kind, I have no idea) for other job, and my normal personal phone is a 5+ yr old small iPhone of an older generation (DGAF about phones and I'm cheap when I DGAF). There have been several times when I have needed her to remind me of how to turn off my company phone because it is done differently. I also had to have her teach me how to take a screen shot on our new company iPads. No, I'm not a boomer

I get great laughter internally(and sometimes externally) when any old to middle aged white guys use the term “woke” when describing their angst about something.

I dont think ive ever heard anything antiemetic in the cockpit. Perhaps its geographic? At least for me, growing up where I did, Judaism wasn't on anyone's radar. Didn't know any Jewish people, didn't go to school with any Jewish people, dont know where a synagogue even is etc..

You weren't a boy scout, were you? Just being prepared could prevent a hell of a mess.

What's with all the Boomer hate, anyway?
The most selfish generation in recent history. Obviously not everyone, but in the aggregate. From individual interactions to public policy, just a terrible ethic. But don’t feel too bad, the millennials are equally terrible in different ways.
Same. I heard racist garbage a lot, but not antisemitism. To the contrary, the average right wing racist nut was damned near a Zionist.

You mean like the KKK douchebags? Nah. They hate the Jews. Also ask an average Qidiot what they think of Ashkenazi Jews. You might rescind that statement.

Never flew with any Qidiots since I left the airlines before Q was a thing. Also never even met a Klansman that I’m aware of.

Never expected to see my hometown called out on here especially for being racist. Although now that I really think about it I guess I'm not terribly shocked by that.

Fun fact, you’re both right. Antisemitism and racism follow (and, depending who you listen to, are separated by) a squiggly, somewhat arbitrary, meandering line.

Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, dude, at least it's an ethos. The old school racist far-right was predicated on one monstrous lie. Everything else sort of fell out from that insane, paranoid whopper. The ethos of the new far-right (or whatever we're calling it this week) is paranoia itself. There's no object to this paranoia, the paranoia is the entire point. It is completely unmoored by anything but Reaction. And I have absolutely no idea what you do about that.
Post-War Murcan Nazis who lived long enough and had an IQ above room-temperature wound up either getting stabbed in the neck by one of their Aryan Brethern in a meth-deal gone bad, living and expiring at their own speed in some freakshow compound somewhere, or spending enough time around people who weren't "Us" to realize that they'd been sold a bill of BS goods, because they'd retained the tiniest little nubbin of critical thinking.
When actively disbelieving anything you're told by anyone who might actually know something is the *core principle*...what the hell does one do with that? It's like a mind-virus. Or well no, I guess old school racism/nazism would be the mind virus. This new thing is more like mind AIDS.

T-Rex lived more or less unchanged for something like 2 million years. Kinda thinking the dinos were onto something with the yuuuge bodies and small brains.

Well I don't know what you call an "average right wing racist" then.
You mean like this?

there’s no such thing! That misnomer would be either intentionally broadened for simplicity’s sake, or completely misunderstood. In this case, I’d go with the first.

That's not racism, that's a spoiled child of a celebrity in socal. Wasn't there a court case where some rich kid was acquitted because of "affluenza"?

She literally said without latinos who would clean the toilets. Thats not racism?

Racism? Maybe, and I'm not going to try to defend her. I doubt there's any malice in her opinion, but there's an absolute lack of life experience. I clean my own toilets and I know if someone wants to use it it's pristine.
