[QUOTE="DrewD007, post: 1486337, member: 3301"] A comment on the [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/df2agj/penn_state_fan_and_alum_who_bashed_player_for/f30e5fy/']Reddit thread[/URL] summed up my thoughts pretty well. “That generation uses casual racism, for lack of a better term, and oftentimes don't understand why it's inappropriate. This is not an excuse to do so, or to let them off without criticism, but it's important to note that it exists. I've got older family members that will drop slurs about blacks, hispanics, whites, etc. and will break bread with them, play sports with them, have them at their house, have sex with them, marry them, etc. But that casual racism is still something they do on a regular basis. They don't view themselves as racist, and their actions would suggest they aren't much of the time. But their words are racist and their words have racist undertones that are impactful to people nonetheless.” [/QUOTE]
