A Racist Is A Racist Regardless Of Age

 
Following royal aide, 83 year old Lady Susan Hussey racist questioning of where a black lady invited to Buckingham Palace 'really came from', i have been wondered at what age it is alright to become a raging racist because there does seem to be a few people who are excusing her prejudiced ramblings as the result of her being an elderly lady.
As if it simply did not compute that someone can be Black and British at the same time, Lady Hussey's questions were 'Where are you From?', then 'You must know where you're from' to 'What Nationality are you?' then 'Where do you really come from' and 'Where do your people come from?' to finally 'When did you first come here?'.  
Quite rightly the 83 year old has been pilloried by all sides and pensioned off from her role as a Royal Aide but some of those on the right seem to want to wave it away as a generation thing and remember that not all right wingers are racists, but all the racists are on the right wing and they are of all ages and that is
important when it comes to impotently batting away accusations of racism.
Under 16 and the racist mumblings are from someone 'Too Young to Understand' and up to 25 they are dismissed as 'A Youthful mistake' and then up to approximately 65 they are 'listening and learning from their mistakes' and then after retirement age they are 'from a different generation' which pretty much covers their whole life of racist blather.
Buckingham Palace said it took the incident 'extremely seriously' and called the comments 'unacceptable and deeply regrettable' although it is unlikely that her views of black people not being British only just appeared this month, it must have been a deeply held view which has only just been exposed now.
Just as people who begin a sentence with 'I'm not a racist but...' and then go on to say something offensively racist, these views are thankfully becoming pushed to the edges and it is only the hardcore morons who persist in this kind of thinking although there are still too many of them around and worse, when they do open their stupid mouth, there are some who are willing to excuse it for whatever reason and not shout them down for the racist idiots they are, regardless of age.
