Ah, the old “out of context / different context” excuse. And that context is never explained, either.
I’m gen-x. I grew up in a “different context” in the UK and cringe when I think of some of the stuff I said as a kid/teen. I’ve grown the fuck up though, and taken responsibility for being a better person than I once was. Part of that is apologizing to groups I once repeated slurs about. I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t apologize.
“Oh, crap, yeah I understand how that is offensive now. I am sorry and I will do better in future.” <– how difficult is that?
