Yeaaaah. I'm kinda there with you. I'd also like to hear from these folks today regarding this. Yes, this is wrong and it's awful but we're looking at these comments from our current societal perspective. Yes, this kind of thing is wrong ALL THE TIME but I actually would like more of the context that the comments were made in - i.e. I would want to read more of the conversation surrounding the comments we have sampled in the article.

It's still really, really scummy no matter how you look at it but I just don't even know.

Never mind me, I'm just working out where to judge and on what criteria and how much of a hypocrite I am.

That is exactly where I am here.
