10. well - I would suggest that there is a strong strain of racism found in
most right wing orgs where youth reigns - military, etc. Listen to the callers on inSanity's show - many young calling in and clearly racist in their views.

I am not arguing that there may be more by percentage among the older citizens. But to suggest that racism is pretty much limited to older seniors just seems wrong based on my experience.

How about some real numbers in support of your argument.
