I'm not.

They've been these people since I was in college, probably before that.

Seriously, I was in college in the 80's in freaking Madison and they were the same, except they couldn't text, so they just said it out loud for everyone to hear and didn't pretend to be anything other than the racist sacks of shit they were (and still, very probably, are).
