      my grandparents refused to get internet. Other members of my family bitch about it, but considering my grandpa's become more racist with time I'm happy he's not on any dogshit messaging groups.

        Did they became more racist with time or did racism just became less acceptable with time and they just stayed the same?

          more racist. It's possible he became more willing to say what he was always thinking, but he said things which he would not have tolerated us saying in the past.

            Interesting… I wonder if it is because the mental faculty of the elders start detereorating and they start becoming more tribal?

              Based on the decay of other relatives, I think it's an aimless anger at the world, and general boredom, that needs a focus, and this was a traditional hate that wouldn't affect family members, more or less.
