I saw a conversation here where someone thought homophobia wasn't that bad in the 90s.

I had someone else say they didn't remember any anti-Japanese racism in Australia in the 90s. I being on the receiving end of it would remember it pretty strongly, but to forget it entirely?

Just really poor memory

(History? I guess this is history subbear. Given how much people seem to misinterpret events happening now, what does that say about writing of events at the tim?)

    Kinda similarly, I find it annoying that libs pretend far right rhetoric only became prevalent in mainstream politics because of Trump when I distinctly remember being weirded the fuck out by seeing Bush senior’s Willie Horton ads and Hillary’s super-predator speech as a kid way back in the 80s and 90s
