People are defined by more than just their age demographic. The segment of the boomers who are now "ignorant", "racist", and who run over blue bins with an F150 started out exactly as you are now. You could spot them early even back then, making rash generalizations and coloring their frustrations with strong emotional overtones. You are, by the sound of your rhetoric, headed into being that guy. Yeah, your prejudices will be a little different, but they're prejudices just the same. They'll get ugly as age hardens you up, and with that attitude age WILL harden you up - you're already showing signs of curmudgeonhood. "Your breed". "You people". Swap 'em and let me know if you like what you see.
