Don’t. Managing to stay alive long enough doesn’t make you smart or a better person. I’ve met plenty of old people who say horrific stuff about black people, gay people, trans people, victims of SA and every other underprivileged group of people. I know this sounds like an ideological “bootstraps” argument, but seriously after 60+ years if you are genuinely hateful, then fuck you. That being said, I generally treat every stranger pretty kind, old people included.
