Which is why I'm saying it isn't malicious on their part. Calling it malicious implies that they are ignorant out of spite. There are people like that, and many people who are malicious in taking advantage of them, but my 70 year old coworker who just doesn't understand LGBT people and hasn't talked to enough black people in their life isn't malicious, just purely ignorant and scared of change.

If they've lived SEVENTY YEARS and haven't come to realize that black people and lgbtq+ people are JUST normal people trying to live a moderately different life...

Then yes, yes they are maliciously stupid. Ignorance eventually becomes a choice after so many oportunities have been passed up.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
