[QUOTE="Hex08, post: 8647241, member: 7029595"] I'm going to have to disagree with you here, biology matters. As we age our brains shrink, it starts in your 30s - 40s and the rate increases in your 60s. The area of our brain most affected is the prefrontal cortex which is where executive functions like impulse control, reasoning, problem solving, memory and social interactions are handled. This means that communications problems arise as does a loss of the ability to learn something new and problems with recalling words. When older people slip up and say something that appears racist it doesn't mean they are (or are not) racist nor does it mean that they "just grew up in a different era" (even though they did), it could just mean "they are old" and are falling victim to the biology of the human body. Everyone has inappropriate thoughts, it's those executive functions that keep people from acting on them or voicing them. Blaming older people for the natural loss of an ability to apply filters is unfair. [/QUOTE]
