    Someone just say the racist old man is a racist old man with racist views. But then they would be the target of attacks for “not being civil” to the racist. This country sucks.

        Also don’t forget Rush Limbaugh. He was a big advocate of ‘civility’ and ‘politeness’ but he absolutely did not consider racism, racist jokes, or telling someone they can’t do something because of their race, to be uncivil or rude.
