Even if they have silly prejudices. Even if they won't give things a chance because it sounds stupid to them. Even if they don't, can't, and won't understand. Even if they're wrong. Even if they have no evidence for their silly "factual" claims. Even if they're terribly restrictive in ways that make no sense. Even if they say what they do from secondhand or even third-hand perspective.
It's a pretty fair guess that it was the elders who came up with that mantra in the first place.
Needless to say, I have an irritating grand-aunt with no personality. She's the kind of person who puts "anything but country!" on the spot where you're supposed to put music preferences on Facebook. The kind of person who will argue with you forever on why "people who use curse words have limited vocabulary and aren't very smart."
I'm just... tired of being the person who has to deal with all of that stereotypist elitist bullshit. But I guess I'm not the only one.
